What is rulemaking?
In Idaho, rulemaking is governed by the Idaho Administrative Procedures Act (IDAPA) Title 67, Chapter 52, Idaho Code. Rulemaking is conducted by state agencies for a variety of reasons.
The four most common reasons are:
- A new statute or amendment by the state legislature
- New federal regulations which require implementation
- ITD initiated rulemaking
- A petition, from an outside party, to change or adopt a rule
If you are interested in commenting on proposed rules, you may send your comments via email, phone or mail to the person named in the published Bulletin Notice. Please be aware that public comments are part of the formal rulemaking record and are therefore public record.
