STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30790 / H0402
The purpose of this legislation is to amend Chapter 39, Title 42, Idaho Code to remove language and references
regarding Class II Oil and Gas injections wells. Idaho does not regulate or permit Class II injection wells. Idaho
deleted administrative rules regulating Class II wells in 2019 after the United States EPA assumed responsibility
to permit Class II wells. The proposed legislation also removes obsolete references to dates and clarifies
language.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will have no impact on the state’s General fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund because
it merely removes outdated language and references and clarifies language.
