Committee forwards bill to relocate a workers’ compensation definition within state code
Summary
House Bill 65 would move the statutory definition of an employer’s family member from one workers’ compensation section to a general definitions section so it applies uniformly across the title. The committee voted to send the bill to the House floor with a do-pass recommendation.
The committee voted to send House Bill 65 to the House floor with a do-pass recommendation after a sponsor described the measure as a statutory housekeeping change to ensure a definition applies uniformly across Title 72.
Representative Chris Bruce (District 23) told the committee the bill relocates the definition of an employee’s family member currently in Idaho Code section 72-2-12 into the general definitions provision in Idaho Code section 72-102 so the definition will apply consistently to all relevant subsections of Title 72.
There was no recorded public testimony on the bill. Representative Healy moved to send House Bill 65 to the floor with a do-pass recommendation; the motion carried on a voice vote.
The committee record does not include a fiscal estimate or additional implementation notes. The measure is presented as a clarification and reorganization of statutory text rather than a change in substantive entitlements.
