 36        current resolution of the legislature;
 37        (e)  the specific statutory authority for the rulemaking including a cita-
 38        tion  to  the  specific  section of the Idaho Code that has occasioned the
 39        rulemaking, or the federal statute or regulation if that is the  basis  of
 40        authority or requirement for the rulemaking; and
 41        (f)  a  specific description, if applicable, of any negative fiscal impact
 42        on the state general fund greater than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) dur-
 43        ing the fiscal year when the pending rule will become effective;  provided
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1        however,  that notwithstanding section 67-5231, Idaho Code, the absence or
  2        accuracy of a fiscal impact statement provided pursuant to this subsection
  3        shall not affect the validity or the enforceability of the rule.
  4        (3)  With the permission of the coordinator, the agency need  not  publish
  5    in  full the text of the pending rule if no significant changes have been made
  6    from the text of the proposed rule as  published  in  the  bulletin,  but  the
  7    notice  of  adoption  of the pending rule must cite the volume of the bulletin
  8    where the text is available and note all changes that have been made.
  9        (4)  An agency shall not publish a pending rule until at least  seven  (7)
 10    days after the close of all public comment.
 11        (5)  (a) Except as set forth in sections 67-5226 and 67-5228, Idaho  Code,
 12        a pending rule shall become final and effective upon the conclusion of the
 13        legislative session at which the rule was submitted to the legislature for
 14        review,  or  as  provided  in  the rule, but no pending rule adopted by an
 15        agency shall become final and effective before the conclusion of the regu-
 16        lar or special legislative session at which the  rule  was  submitted  for
 17        review.  A rule which is final and effective may be applied retroactively,
 18        as provided in the rule.
 19        (b)  When the legislature approves, amends or modifies a pending rule pur-
 20        suant  to  section  67-5291,  Idaho  Code, the rule shall become final and
 21        effective upon adoption of the concurrent resolution or  such  other  date
 22        specified in the concurrent resolution.
 23        (c)  Except   as set forth in sections 67-5226 and 67-5228, Idaho Code, no
 24        pending rule or portion thereof imposing a fee or charge of any kind shall
 25        become final and effective until it has been approved, amended or modified
 26        by concurrent resolution.
 27        (6)  Each agency shall provide the administrative rules coordinator with a
 28    description of any pending rule or portion  thereof  imposing  a  new  fee  or
 29    charge  or  increasing an existing fee or charge, along with a citation of the
 30    specific statute authorizing the imposition or increase of the fee or  charge.
 31    The administrative rules coordinator shall provide the legislature with a com-
 32    pilation of the descriptions provided by the agencies.
 33        (7)  At the conclusion of the legislative session or as soon thereafter as
 34    is practicable, the coordinator shall publish the date upon which the legisla-
 35    ture  adjourned sine die and rules became effective and a list  of final rules
 36    becoming effective on a different date, as  provided  in  section  67-5224(5),
 37    Idaho  Code,  and  temporary  rules remaining in effect as provided in section
 38    67-5226(3), Idaho Code.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                
                            RS 15036

This bill would amend Section 67-5224, Idaho Code, to
require an agency to include in its notice adopting a pending
rule the section of the Idaho Code that has occasioned the
rulemaking as well as a fiscal impact description if greater than
$10,000 on the general fund, and to  provide that no pending rule
or portion of a rule that has  a negative fiscal impact on the
state general fund greater than $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.
