Bill > H0223

This bill amends the Idaho Administrative Procedure Act to modify the legislative review process for administrative rules. Specifically, the bill removes some existing provisions about how the legislature reviews temporary, pending, and final rules. The key changes include simplifying the rule rejection process by eliminating detailed requirements for explaining why a rule is rejected, modifying expiration dates for temporary and pending rules, and standardizing the effective dates for rules. The bill changes the expiration of temporary rules from the end of the next legislative session to June 30 of the year following its adoption, and adjusts how pending fee and non-fee rules become effective. It also removes some specific language about rejecting rules and streamlines the process for legislative review of administrative rules. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will go into effect immediately upon passage and approval, which suggests the changes are considered time-sensitive or critically important to the state's administrative procedures.
