This bill amends the Idaho Administrative Procedure Act by adding a new section, 67-5233, which establishes a ten-year expiration period on rulemaking authority for agencies that have the statutory power to create rules related to statutes enacted on or after July 1, 2025. Under this new provision, agencies must promulgate all necessary rules and regulations within this ten-year timeframe. If they fail to do so, they can only create new rules related to the statute if there is a substantive amendment to the relevant section or chapter by the legislature, or if a new statute confers rulemaking authority, provided that the rulemaking process begins within two years of the amendment or new statute.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This measure aims to ensure timely rulemaking by agencies and to prevent indefinite delays in the implementation of regulations that are essential for the enforcement and interpretation of newly passed statutes.
