RULE APPROVAL – HOUSE HEALTH AND WELFARE COMMITTEE – States findings of the Legislature and provides that all temporary and pending rules adopted by the Idaho Commission on Aging, the Idaho Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the Department of Health and Welfare, and the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses have been reviewed and approved by the House Health and Welfare Committee, with exceptions.

This House resolution formally approves temporary and pending rules from several Idaho state agencies, including the Department of Health and Welfare and the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses. The House Health and Welfare Committee conducted this review as required by state law, confirming that most rules submitted for the 2026 legislative session have been examined and accepted. However, the resolution explicitly excludes four specific rule sets from approval, including regulations for daycare licensing, child care programs, occupational therapy licensure, and physical therapy board governance. These excluded rules will not receive committee approval and may expire at the end of the legislative session unless the departments request reconsideration. The resolution affects administrative agencies by establishing which of their proposed regulations have legislative backing for implementation.
