Farm Bureau urges negotiated rulemaking as committee refers S 1076 for amendment
Summary
Russ Hendricks of the Idaho Farm Bureau asked the committee to send S 1076 — changes to the Idaho Administrative Procedure Act about temporary rules — to the 14th Order of Business for amendment; the committee approved the referral.
Russ Hendricks, representing the Idaho Farm Bureau, addressed the Senate State Affairs Committee on S 1076, which amends the Idaho Administrative Procedure Act’s provisions governing temporary rules.
Hendricks summarized key provisions recorded in the minutes: temporary rules should be limited to unique or emergency situations; negotiated rulemaking is preferable because it allows participation, accountability, and transparency; and the Governor would publish reasons for temporary rules and fee rules would involve Governor-level review. He asked that S 1076 be sent to the 14th Order of Business to allow clarifying language requested by the Governor’s Office and Department of Financial Management.
Senator Harris moved to send S 1076 to the 14th Order of Business for possible amendment; Senator Toews seconded and the motion carried by voice vote. The minutes record the committee approved referral; they do not contain the proposed amendment language or any fiscal impact statements.
Next steps: S 1076 was referred for amendment and will return to committee for consideration of any clarified language and fiscal notes.
