Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 128, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, outlines the findings of the Idaho Legislature regarding temporary and pending rules submitted for review during the 2026 legislative session. The resolution states that standing committees are required to review these rules, which, if not approved, will expire either at the end of the next regular session or upon adjournment of the current session. The Legislature has reviewed rules from various state agencies and has determined that certain rules are inconsistent with legislative intent, leading to their rejection.
The resolution ultimately approves all temporary and pending rules submitted by state agencies, with specific exceptions noted for rules that are declared null and void. The approved rules will generally take effect on July 1, 2026, while some will become effective upon the adjournment of the current legislative session. The resolution emphasizes the Legislature's authority to reject rules that do not align with legislative intent and provides a comprehensive list of the rules that have been rejected.
