In Idaho, rulemaking is governed by the Idaho Administrative Procedures Act (“Idaho APA”)(Title 67, Chapter 52, Idaho Code). Rulemaking is conducted by state agencies for three primary reasons; the enactment or amendment of a statute by the state Legislature, new regulations adopted by the federal government or receipt of a petition from outside the agency to change or adopt a rule. A stakeholder may petition the agency to initiate rulemaking by completing a Petition to Initiate Rulemaking.
2025 is also the last year to complete the Governor’s Zero-Based Rulemaking (ZBR) executive order requirements. As such, there are several rules open for that reason.
For questions, comments or to sign-up for a meeting, contact the Rules Review Officer.
