On March 30, 2023, Gov. Little signed SB1023, which legislation provides some refinements to OAH’s enabling legislation. The four primary highlights of this legislation, which will go into effect on July 1, are as follows:
– SB1023 adds refinements to OAH’s organizational set-up, to include: 1) formally adds OAH to the Department of Self-Governing Agencies list in I.C. sec. 67-2604; 2) makes OAH employees non-classified employees under I.C. 67-5303 (like judges, Deputies Attorney General, and the State Appellate Public Defender’s office); and 3) permits OAH to utilize outside counsel under I.C. sec. 67-1406 (similar to, e.g., the various agriculture commissions, the Idaho State Bar, and the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses).
