Senate Resolution No. 109, introduced by the Judiciary and Rules Committee, outlines the findings of the Idaho Senate regarding the review of temporary and pending rules from the Department of Health and Welfare, the Department of Environmental Quality, and the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses. In accordance with Idaho Code Section 67-5291, the Senate Health and Welfare Committee has conducted a review of these rules, which were published in the Idaho Administrative Bulletin, and has approved them for the upcoming 2025 legislative session, with specific exceptions noted.
The resolution specifies that two particular subsections of rules were not approved: the first pertains to the licensure of physician assistants under IDAPA 24.33.02, and the second relates to the Idaho State Board of Pharmacy under IDAPA 24.36.01. The resolution serves to formally document the committee's review and approval process, ensuring that the legislative body is informed of the status of these rules as they move forward.
