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 are published in the Idaho Administrative Bulletin, to ensure they align with legislative standards.
The resolution confirms that all reviewed rules have been approved by the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, with two specific exceptions noted. These exceptions include a particular subsection of the rules for the licensure of physician assistants and a subsection of the rules from the Idaho State Board of Pharmacy, both of which were not approved. This resolution serves to formalize the committee's findings and the status of the rules as they pertain to the upcoming 2025 legislative session.
