House passes bill requiring state agencies to report obsolete statutes by Sept. 1, 2025
Summary
House Bill 14, which requires state agencies to report statutes and code sections they consider obsolete or unnecessary to a Legislative Services Office portal by Sept. 1, 2025, passed the House 68-0 and will be sent to the Senate.
The Idaho House on Jan. 23 unanimously passed House Bill 14, a bill that requires state agencies to submit to the Legislative Services Office, by Sept. 1, 2025, a report identifying statutes or code sections they deem obsolete, unnecessary, or outdated. The vote was 68 yeas, 0 nays, with 2 members absent or excused; the bill will be transmitted to the Senate.
Representative (District 15) presented the bill on the floor, saying agencies will file a report to a portal on the Legislative Services Office website listing statutory provisions that could be repealed or revised. The bill does not itself repeal code sections; it creates a reporting requirement to inform future legislative drafting.
Supporters described the bill as a way to create a transparent inventory of potentially obsolete statutes and to streamline future cleanup during the legislative session. The House adopted the bill and it will be forwarded to the Senate.
