The proposed bill introduces the "AI Regulatory Review Act" by adding a new Chapter 34 to Title 67 of the Idaho Code. The Act aims to modernize the regulatory review process by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and recommend modifications to existing regulations and guidance documents. The legislature recognizes that outdated regulations impose unnecessary burdens on individuals and businesses, and AI can efficiently assess these frameworks to ensure they remain relevant and effective. The bill mandates that all state agencies conduct periodic reviews of their regulations using AI systems, which will analyze the necessity, clarity, and economic impact of these regulations.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that all AI-generated analyses and recommendations must undergo human review by qualified agency personnel before any regulatory changes can be made. This ensures that modifications align with statutory authority and legislative intent. Agencies are required to report annually on the number of regulations reviewed, the AI's findings, and the resulting burden reductions and cost savings. The bill also establishes a timeline for agencies to implement AI systems and complete their reviews within six months of the Act's effective date. An emergency clause is included, allowing the Act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
