DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The following is a statement in nontechnical language of the substance and purpose of the intended negotiated rulemaking and the principal issues involved:

These rules are being presented for authorization as part of the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreations plan to review each rule every 5 years. The Department is considering changes that remove outdated references, clarify unclear language, update fees to align with economic climate, and remove administrative burdens consistent with the Governor’s Red Tape Reduction Act and the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-01: Zero-Based Regulation. It is anticipated that rulemaking stakeholders will propose and advocate for rulemaking changes as part of the negotiated rulemaking process. The Department intends to carefully consider all changes presented by the public and may propose certain changes so long as they are consistent with the rules’ statutory authority and the Governor’s Executive Order.
