House Resolution No. 16, introduced by the Education Committee, outlines the findings of the House of Representatives regarding the review of temporary and pending rules established by the State Board of Education and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. In accordance with Idaho Code Section 67-5291, the House Education Committee has conducted a review of these rules as published in the Idaho Administrative Bulletin. The resolution confirms that the majority of these rules have been approved for the 2025 legislative session, with specific exceptions noted.
The exceptions to the approved rules include certain provisions from four dockets: IDAPA 08.02.03 concerning Grade 4 Social Studies and Grade 6-12 U.S. History standards, IDAPA 08.01.11 related to the registration of postsecondary educational institutions and proprietary schools, and IDAPA 08.02.02 and IDAPA 08.02.03, both addressing rules governing uniformity and thoroughness, respectively. These exceptions indicate that while the House Education Committee has largely endorsed the rules, there are specific areas that require further consideration or modification.
