Idaho Bills

Adds to existing law to require the use of AI to review administrative rules annually.

RS33679 / H0917 This legislation establishes the AI Regulatory Review Act, creating a framework for Idaho state agencies to use artificial intelligence to assist in the review of existing regulations and guidance documents as required under Section 67-5292, Idaho Code. The Act requires each agency, as part of its existing periodic review, to use an AI system to analyze whether regulatory mandates are required by law or discretionary, whether mandates conflict with or duplicate other state or federal provisions, how Idaho's requirements compare to those of neighboring states, whether mandates are written in plain language, and the cost and economic impact of proposed modifications. All AI-generated recommendations are subject to mandatory human review and approval by qualified agency personnel. No regulation may be amended or repealed based solely on AI analysis. Agencies must initiate rulemaking under the Idaho Administrative Procedure Act to implement any approved changes, and must annually report outcomes to the appropriate legislative committee.
