Zero-based regulation rulemaking: Rules Governing Licensing

Status of Rulemaking

The Department has begun the process of negotiated rulemaking. The intent to promulgate was published in the May 1, 2024, Idaho Administrative Bulletin. Written comments were accepted through May 31, 2024.

Description

Negotiated rulemaking is being initiated in compliance with Governor Little’s Executive Order No. 2020-01 for Zero-Based Regulation. In accordance with the executive order, each rule chapter must be reviewed based on a schedule established by the Division of Financial Management and with the intent to simplify and streamline rule language and reduce regulatory burden. This chapter is brought in conjunction with 13.01.08 to evaluate where language can be more appropriately incorporated.

The rulemaking concerns licensing, proof of residence, resident lifetime license certificates, disability licenses, allocation of outfitter tags, nonresident tag quotas, refunds and rainchecks, and programs for Bighorn Sheep Auction and Lottery Tags, Governor’s Partnership Tags, Children with Special Needs Big Game Tags, and Disabled Veterans Special Big Game Tags.
