House Concurrent Resolution No. 14, introduced by the Health and Welfare Committee, expresses the Idaho Legislature's findings regarding certain rules established by the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses that pertain to the Genetic Counselors Licensing Board. The Legislature asserts its authority to reject these rules under Idaho Code Section 67-5291, citing that they are inconsistent with legislative intent and the state's code of ethics.
As a result, the resolution formally rejects the specific rule outlined in IDAPA 24.24.01, Section 002, Section II, Item 3, which incorporates the "National Society of Genetic Counselors Code of Ethics." This rejection declares the rule null, void, and without effect as of July 1, 2025, thereby signaling the Legislature's commitment to ensuring that regulations align with its intentions and ethical standards.
