This bill amends the Idaho Administrative Procedure Act by adding a new section, 67-5233, which establishes a timeline for the expiration of rulemaking authority for state agencies. According to the new provisions, agencies that have the statutory authority to create rules related to statutes enacted on or after July 1, 2025, will have a period of ten years to promulgate all necessary rules and regulations. After this ten-year period, agencies can only create new rules if there has been a substantive amendment to the relevant statute or the introduction of a new statute that grants rulemaking authority, provided that the rulemaking process begins within two years of such changes.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This urgency suggests that the legislature aims to implement these changes promptly to ensure clarity and efficiency in the rulemaking process for newly enacted statutes.
