This bill amends the Idaho Administrative Procedure Act by adding a new section, 67-5233, which establishes a timeline for agencies to exercise their rulemaking authority. Specifically, it stipulates that agencies with the authority to create rules related to statutes enacted on or after July 1, 2025, must do so within ten years. After this period, any new rules can only be promulgated if there is a substantive amendment to the relevant statute or the introduction of a new statute that grants rulemaking authority, and this must occur within two years of the amendment or new statute.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, making it effective immediately on July 1, 2025. This change aims to ensure that rulemaking is timely and responsive to legislative updates, thereby enhancing the regulatory framework in Idaho.
