Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 109, introduced by the Judiciary and Rules Committee, addresses the authority of the Idaho Legislature to reject certain rules established by the Industrial Commission concerning the Worker’s Compensation Law. The resolution asserts that specific rules are inconsistent with the legislative intent, prompting the Legislature to take action to nullify these rules.
The resolution specifically targets the final rule outlined in IDAPA 17.01.01, Section 305., Subsection 01.a., which pertains to the Administrative Rules under the Worker’s Compensation Law. The Legislature has resolved that this rule is rejected and will be declared null, void, and without effect as of July 1, 2025, thereby reinforcing the Legislature's oversight role in ensuring that executive agency rules align with legislative intent.
