▶ Show statement of purpose

The incoming federal administration will be creating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to examine ways to cut unnecessary bureaucracy and inefficient spending and regulations at the federal level. Idaho has been in a DOGE mode for many years, including reducing the footprint of the administrative state through paring back administrative rules. This legislation represents the next step in this process, which will require state agencies to go through the same kind of review of Idaho Code that has been performed with administrative rules. It requires state agencies to review their titles and chapters of Idaho Code for unnecessary, obsolete, and outdated provisions, and to report to the Legislature by September 1, 2025, their recommendations for the removal of such provisions. The Legislature will then consider these and any other proposals for removing unnecessary complexities and bureaucratic processes from Idaho Code in the 2026 regular session.

▶ Show fiscal note

The review required by this legislation is to be performed by state agencies using their existing employees, who are familiar with sections of Idaho Code administered by their agency. Since these are existing state employee resources, and the report is to be delivered electronically, there is no additional appropriation needed.
