Idaho Bills

Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to provide for reports to the Legislature to be submitted electronically and to remove obsolete provisions regarding reporting requirements.

This legislation enhances transparency, streamlines the reporting process, and reduces administrative burdens on both reporting entities and the Legislature. It will improve the efficiency and accessibility of reports submitted to the Idaho Legislature by establishing a system where any agency currently required by Idaho Code to submit a report to the Legislature or its committees shall also submit the report electronically to the Legislative Services Office (LSO). It directs LSO to maintain an online system for electronic report submissions and sets a default deadline of December 15 for reports that do not otherwise have a specified due date. Additionally, the bill eliminates outdated statutory reporting requirements by amending or repealing specific provisions in Idaho Code that mandate legislative reports no longer deemed necessary.
