 14    expire  on July 1, 2006, pursuant to the provisions of subsections (1) and (2)
 15    of Section 67-5292, Idaho Code, shall continue in full force and effect  until
 16    July  1, 2007, at which time they shall expire as provided in Section 67-5292,
 17    Idaho Code.
                                                                        
 18        SECTION 2.  All rules, as that term is defined in Section  67-5201,  Idaho
 19    Code,  which have been affirmatively approved or extended by the adoption of a
 20    Concurrent  Resolution by both the Senate and the House of Representatives  in
 21    the  Second  Regular  Session of the Fifty-eighth Idaho Legislature shall con-
 22    tinue in full force and effect in such approved  or  extended  language  until

 25    provided by statute, unless further extended by statute.
                                                                        
 26        SECTION 3.  All rules, as that term is defined in Section  67-5201,  Idaho
 27    Code,  which  have been rejected by the adoption of a Concurrent Resolution by

  3        SECTION  5.  SEVERABILITY.  The provisions of this act are hereby declared
  4    to be severable and if any provision of this act or the  application  of  such
  5    provision  to  any  person or circumstance is declared invalid for any reason,
  6    such declaration shall not affect the validity of the  remaining  portions  of
  7    this act.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 16269

While the Legislature has delegated authority to state agencies
to adopt rules consistent with legislative intent, the
Legislature, under Section 67-5292, Idaho Code, has provided by
statute that all rules shall expire annually on July 1 of each
year, unless extended by statute in each succeeding year. This
bill would continue agency rules approved by the Legislature
until July 1, 2007, unless they expire sooner. 


                                 
                           FISCAL NOTE 

This bill will have no fiscal impact on the state general fund or
any other state or local funds.
