Repeals and adds to existing law to establish the Extended Employment Services program in the Department of Health and Welfare.
The proposed legislation would move the administration of the Extended Employment Services program administration from the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Chapter 63, Title 33, Idaho Code, where the program is currently codified would be repealed and a new chapter would be added to Title 56, reestablishing the program. In addition to moving the currently codified provisions, amendments have been made to provide additional clarification to the administration of the program that would otherwise need to be provided through the administrative rulemaking process.
