House Resolution No. 9, introduced by the Ways and Means Committee, affirms that the House Environment, Energy, and Technology Committee has reviewed and approved all pending and temporary rules established by the Department of Environmental Quality. This resolution is in accordance with Section 67-5291 of the Idaho Code, which mandates that standing committees of the Legislature assess any relevant pending or temporary rules published in the Idaho Administrative Bulletin.

The resolution serves to formalize the approval process for these rules, ensuring that they have undergone the necessary legislative scrutiny before being submitted for review during the 2025 legislative session. By doing so, it reinforces the legislative oversight of environmental regulations and the role of the House Environment, Energy, and Technology Committee in this process.
