Purpose of Rulemaking

The proposed rules will amend certain portions of the Idaho Rules of Administrative Procedure (IDAPA 62.01.01), which govern the conduct of contested cases before Idaho’s administrative agencies, to include changes necessitated by passage of HB9a and HB36 in the last legislative session.


Status

Negotiated Rulemaking

Negotiated rulemaking is a process in which all interested parties and the agency seek consensus on the content of a rule. Public meetings are an opportunity for all interested persons to discuss possible changes to the rule, and the public may also submit written comments. Final revisions to the draft rules are being made, and will be submitted to begin the proposed rulemaking process in the fall.

Negotiated rulemaking sessions are currently scheduled as follows:
