In accordance with Executive Order 2020-01: Zero-Based Regulation, the Industrial Commission is striving to prevent the accumulation of costly, ineffective, and outdated regulations and reduce regulatory burden to achieve a more efficient operation of government. Currently, the Industrial Commission is reexamining the Idaho Workers’ Compensation; IDAPA 17.01.01 – Administrative Rules Under the Worker’s Compensation Law.
As part of the rulemaking process, the Commission will host multiple negotiated rulemaking meetings throughout 2024 to allow Commission stakeholders to share their feedback regarding the current administrative rules and recommend potential changes to improve the effectiveness and reduce regulatory burden. More information regarding the coming meetings, including a schedule of which sections of the rules will be discussed on which date. The negotiated rulemaking meetings will also be available via WebEx for those unable to attend in person. Following the conclusion of negotiated rulemaking meetings, the Industrial Commission will hold two public hearings, tentatively scheduled for September 16 and October 2, 2024, to receive final public testimony and comments.
