Amends existing law to provide for the expiration of temporary rules.
This legislation makes minor changes to Idaho Code Sections 67-5226 and 67-5291 of the Idaho Administrative Procedure Act. It provides clarity, continuity, and consistency regarding the expiration of certain temporary rules. Specifically, this legislation specifies that when a temporary rule is not approved by a concurrent resolution of the legislature the temporary rule shall expire by its own terms or on June 30 of the year following the temporary rule’s adoption. Currently, such temporary rules expire either by their own terms or upon adjournment sine die of the legislature, which has caused issues because pending rules approved by concurrent resolution do not become final rules and effective until July 1. Thus, current law creates a time gap between when temporary rules expire, and pending rules become final rules. This legislation would eliminate that gap.
