Omnibus Reauthorization of all IWRB and IDWR Non-Fee Rules

Docket 37-0000-2100

The IWRB and IDWR are adopting all non-fee rules as temporary rules to be effective July 1, 2021, in the event the Legislature adjourns without reauthorizing all of Idaho’s administrative rules.

After adopting the temporary non-fee rules, the IWRB and IDWR will work to reestablish the temporary rules as permanent rules by publishing them as proposed rules and then as pending rules, and then submitting them to the 2022 Idaho Legislature for review and approval.

On March 18, 2022, the 2022 Legislature adopted the Pending Rule for this rulemaking as “final and effective” thus concluding this rulemaking process.
