STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 14952
This bill would amend Section 67-5224, Idaho Code, to
provide that no pending rule or portion of a rule that has a
negative fiscal impact on the state general fund greater than ten
thousand dollars ($10,000) shall become final and effective until
it has been approved 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.
