Administrative Rules

The Idaho Administrative Procedure Act (IDAPA) (Title 67, Chapter 52, Idaho Code) governs rulemaking in Idaho and defines rulemaking as the process for the formulation, adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule.

Through rules, an agency interprets, prescribes, and implements statutory law; and clarifies, standardizes, or establishes its procedure or practice requirements.

The Office of the Administrative Rules Coordinator facilitates this process and is housed within the Division of Financial Management under the Executive Office of the Governor.
