Senate State Affairs sends H 8 — public utilities cleanup — to the floor with do pass recommendation
Summary
The committee advanced H 8, a cleanup of the Idaho Public Utilities Code that removes obsolete provisions including one chapter and 15 sections of Title 61; Senator Ruchti moved the do-pass and the motion carried by voice vote.
On Feb. 14, 2025, the Senate State Affairs Committee heard H 8, a measure introduced by Stephen Goodson of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to remove obsolete language and sections from the Idaho Public Utilities Code. Goodson told the committee H 8 deletes outdated terms and entire sections no longer relevant to current regulation.
Senator Ruchti moved to send H 8 to the Senate floor with a do pass recommendation; Vice Chairman Bernt seconded the motion and it carried by voice vote. No formal roll-call vote was recorded in the minutes. The committee did not record further debate on policy changes; record indicates the action was procedural to clean up statutory text.
The committee’s recommendation sends the bill to the full Senate for consideration.
