Summary — SR 105 (Idaho) — Review and committee approval of temporary and pending administrative rules

Note on document inconsistency
- The bill header provided a different ceremonial title (commending Roger Barlow). The actual resolution text and fiscal note submitted for SR 105 address a procedural review of administrative rules. This summary describes the substance of the resolution text and fiscal note.

Main purpose

SR 105 is a procedural Senate resolution stating the findings of the Senate State Affairs Committee that it has reviewed and approved, under Idaho law, the temporary and pending administrative rules submitted for legislative review during the 2025 session — with one specific exception. It documents the committee’s review pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act and Idaho Code § 67‑5291.

Key provisions and changes

  • Confirms that the Senate State Affairs Committee reviewed temporary and pending rules published in the Idaho Administrative Bulletin for the following agencies:
    • Idaho State Police
    • Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses
    • Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC)
    • Idaho Secretary of State
    • Department of Administration
    • Idaho State Lottery
  • Declares that all such temporary and pending rules submitted for review during the 2025 legislative session have been reviewed and approved by the Senate State Affairs Committee, except:
    • IDAPA 31.41.01 (Idaho Public Utilities Commission) — Docket No. 31‑4101‑2401, “Customer Relations Rules for Telephone Corporations Providing Services in Idaho Subject to Customer Service Regulation by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Telephone Customer Relations Rules)” — Section 205, Subsection 02 (this single subsection was not approved by the committee).
  • States the legal authority for committee review: Idaho Code § 67‑5291 (standing committees must review temporary or pending rules germane to the committee).
  • Contains a fiscal note declaring no fiscal impact to the General Fund, because the resolution is procedural.

Who is affected

  • Primary: the state agencies listed above (their temporary and pending rules as submitted for legislative review).
  • Specifically implicated: telephone corporations providing regulated service in Idaho to the extent affected by IDAPA 31.41.01 Section 205.02 (the single subsection not approved).
  • More broadly: regulated entities and stakeholders subject to the reviewed rules; the resolution records legislative oversight but does not itself change agency rule text.

Procedural and timeline details

  • Introduced: February 14, 2025
  • Read & adopted in the Senate (voice vote / recorded actions): February 20, 2025
  • Reported enrolled / enrolled and processed through Senate (signatures and transmittal): actions in March–May 2025 (enrolled by May 19, 2025; filed with Secretary of State by late May 2025 per legislative actions).
  • Fiscal note / statement of purpose: attached and dated February 7, 2025 (indicates no General Fund impact).
  • Contact (listed on fiscal note): Senator Treg A. Bernt and Senator Jim Guthrie.

Practical effect

  • The resolution documents and publicizes the committee’s formal review and approval status of a set of agency rules for the legislative record. It signals committee acceptance of the rules generally and identifies one subsection the committee did not approve. It does not itself amend or repeal agency rule text; any substantive effect on specific rules would proceed under the Administrative Procedure Act and applicable agency/legislative follow-up processes.
