§67-5292 states that all administrative rules automatically expire on July 1 unless extended by statute. The 2019 Idaho Legislature did not reauthorize all existing administrative rules as they have traditionally done in the past. As a result, the Governor directed DFM and all state executive agencies to exercise necessary executive authority to minimize the impact on state agencies, and the public most importantly. This special edition of the Idaho Administrative Bulletin re-publishes the state’s administrative rules as temporary and proposed rules concurrently, with an effective date of June 30, 2019. This includes IDVS IDAPA Rules 21.01.01, 21.01.04, and 21.01.06. This approach ensures the state’s administrative rules will continue to have the full force and effect of law.

Under the VA MISSION ACT, Veterans can expect a variety of improvements to community care.
