Idaho committee to review slimmed-down administrative rules; annual tax conformity bill incoming
Summary
The Senate Local Government and Taxation Committee was told that administrative review rulebooks have been delivered and contain only minor, ZBR-style cuts; the committee also learned an annual tax conformity bill is expected soon, with timing intended to allow timely tax filings.
The Senate Local Government and Taxation Committee was told on an organizational call that the administrative review rulebooks have been delivered and contain only minor changes, and committee leadership said members will take up the materials at the next meeting.
Committee chair said, “I believe the books have been delivered to everybody and you'll see that they're very small,” describing the changes as largely “ZBR type things” that reduce and make language more concise. Chair said the committee will move the rules into consideration at the committee’s meeting tomorrow.
The chair also told members that the committee expects to receive an annual tax conformity bill soon. “I did see that we do have a bill coming, the annual tax conformity bill too,” the chair said, adding an intent to act quickly so taxpayers can file on schedule; the chair noted the IRS is set to begin receiving returns on “the 27th of this month.”
The discussion was brief and procedural: members were informed the review packet is small and apparently contains no substantive policy changes, and staff and members plan to review and consider the rule changes at the committee’s next convening. No formal motions, votes or amendments were taken during the meeting segment recorded in the transcript.
Committee materials referenced in this meeting were described as concise and largely editorial; the transcript did not provide statutory citations, bill numbers, or further details about the content of the forthcoming tax conformity bill. The committee did not set a final date for a hearing on the bill in the portion of the meeting covered by the transcript.
