States findings of the Legislature and provides that all temporary and pending rules of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, the Idaho Sheep and Goat Health Board, the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, and the Idaho Oilseed Commission have been reviewed and approved by the House Agricultural Affairs Committee.
Summary
House Resolution 10 is a legislative findings resolution stating that the House Agricultural Affairs Committee has reviewed and approved all temporary and pending administrative rules submitted during the 2025 session by four entities: the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, the Idaho Sheep and Goat Health Board, the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, and the Idaho Oilseed Commission. The resolution does not create new regulatory requirements or change substantive law; instead, it formally records the House’s approval of the committee’s review under Idaho’s administrative rules process.
The resolution operates within Idaho’s Administrative Procedure Act and the statutory legislative review framework in Section 67-5291, Idaho Code. Its practical effect is to complete the legislative review step for the listed agencies’ temporary and pending rules, allowing those rules to remain in effect or proceed through the administrative process as applicable. Because it is a resolution rather than a bill amending code, its impact is procedural and oversight-oriented rather than a direct change to regulated conduct.
Impact
HR010 does not amend Idaho statutes or impose new duties on agencies, businesses, or individuals. Its legal effect is to document that the House Agricultural Affairs Committee reviewed and approved the temporary and pending rules of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, the Idaho Sheep and Goat Health Board, the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, and the Idaho Oilseed Commission during the 2025 session, satisfying the legislative review requirement for administrative rules.
Sentiment
The available voting history suggests the resolution was broadly supported and noncontroversial: it passed House Third Reading by a vote of 66-0. No committee transcript is available, and the absence of recorded opposition indicates the measure was treated as routine administrative oversight rather than a contested policy issue.
Contention
There is no recorded substantive contention in the provided materials. Because the resolution concerns approval of administrative rules rather than policy changes, any disagreement would likely have centered on the underlying agency rules themselves, but no such objections appear in the available transcripts or vote record. The unanimous House vote suggests the measure was viewed as a routine procedural action.
