AI Summary
This bill amends Section 56-269 of Idaho Code to require that any changes expanding eligibility criteria or benefits for public assistance programs must be explicitly enacted through legislative statute, rather than being implemented through administrative rules, state plans, agency guidance, or other documents. Specifically, the bill changes the effective date from July 1, 2023 to July 1, 2025, and adds more detailed language about the types of documents that cannot be used to modify public assistance programs. The bill defines "agency guidance" by referencing section 67-5250 of Idaho Code, which helps clarify the scope of administrative documents that would be restricted. By requiring legislative action for program changes, the bill aims to ensure greater legislative oversight and transparency in how public assistance programs are modified. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will go into full effect immediately upon meeting the July 1, 2025 date specified in the legislation.
