STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 14592
The purpose of this legislation is to allow legislative rules review
subcommittees established pursuant to section 67-454, Idaho Code, a
longer period of time to review proposed state agency administrative
rules promulgated during the legislative interim. The proposal would
allow the subcommittees to meet ninety days after the receipt of the
analysis from the Legislative Services Office. The current law
requires a meeting within forty-two days of the receipt of the
analysis.
The proposal also increases the period of time when members of the
subcommittee can request a meeting from fifteen days to forty-five
days of the receipt of the analysis from the Legislative Services
Office.
This legislation will allow more thorough review of rules by
legislators prior to requesting a subcommittee meeting and help in
scheduling subcommittee meetings.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact as a result of this legislation.
