STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 14794
This bill would amend Section 67-5224, Idaho Code, to
provide that no pending rule or portion of a rule that has a
fiscal impact greater than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in any
fiscal year shall become final and effective until it has been
approved, amended or modified by concurrent resolution. The
result of this amendment would be to treat rules that have a
significant fiscal impact like fee rules, which require both
houses of the Legislature to affirmatively approve the rule in
order for the rule to take effect.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill has no fiscal impact on the state general fund,
any other state funds or any local government funds.
