Summary — House Resolution No. 5 (Idaho, 2025)

Purpose

House Resolution No. 5 (HR 5) is a legislative resolution of the Idaho House of Representatives stating that the House Judiciary, Rules, and Administration (JRA) Committee reviewed and approved certain temporary and pending administrative rules issued by three state entities: the Idaho State Police / State Forensic Laboratory, the Idaho State Police / Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council, and the Commission of Pardons and Parole. The resolution documents the committee’s review under Idaho Code § 67‑5291 and formally records the committee’s approval.

Key provisions

  • Declares that, pursuant to Idaho Code § 67‑5291, the House JRA Committee reviewed temporary and pending rules published in the Idaho Administrative Bulletin that are germane to the committee.
  • Specifically states that "all temporary and pending rules" adopted by:
    • Idaho State Police / State Forensic Laboratory;
    • Idaho State Police / Peace Officer Standards and Training Council; and
    • Commission of Pardons and Parole that were submitted through the Office of the Administrative Rules Coordinator for legislative review during the 2025 session have been reviewed and approved by the House JRA Committee.
  • Provides no changes to the substantive rules themselves; rather, it records legislative committee concurrence with the rules review process.

Who/what is affected

  • The primary entities affected are the three state agencies listed above (Idaho State Police — State Forensic Laboratory; Idaho State Police — POST Council; Commission of Pardons and Parole).
  • Regulated individuals and entities subject to those agencies’ administrative rules are indirectly affected in that the committee’s review/approval is part of the formal oversight process that can influence the rules’ final status.
  • The Office of the Administrative Rules Coordinator and legislative oversight processes are implicated (procedural/administrative effect).

Fiscal impact

  • The attached fiscal note states the resolution causes no increase or decrease in revenue and no additional expenditures at the state or local level; therefore it has no fiscal impact.

Procedural status and timeline

  • Drafted/considered during the First Regular Session of the Sixty‑eighth Idaho Legislature (2025).
  • Committee action: Reviewed and approved by the House Judiciary, Rules, and Administration Committee (amendment H‑1005 was adopted; amendment H‑1006 was withdrawn).
  • Floor action: Resolution was adopted by the House and reported read/approved on the legislative record (recorded votes include a 70–0–0 adoption on 02/11/2025 in one entry). The resolution was enrolled and transmitted per House rules.
  • Floor sponsor and point of contact on record: Representative Joe Alfieri (floor sponsor/contact for fiscal note).

Significance

HR 5 is procedural and administrative in nature. It does not change statutory law or directly alter agency rule text; its primary effect is to document and confirm that the House JRA Committee completed the statutorily required review of specified temporary and pending administrative rules during the 2025 legislative session.
