SUBJECT: ZERO BASED RULES REVIEW - 2023 BACKGROUND
Executive Order 2020-01, signed by Governor Little sets forth a Zero-Based Rule Review for all
state agencies. A master schedule was created for agencies with specific sets of IDAPA rules to be reviewed over a five-year period. The Governor’s Executive Order states that: “DFM shall ensure the volume of rules that are reviewed by the agencies in any given
year is such that the public can engage and provide meaningful input in any individual
rulemaking, with approximately twenty percent (20-percent) of rule chapters subject to review
each year…” This year’s rules for review are IDAPA:

 31.12.01 – Systems of Accounting Rules
 31.21.01 – Customer Relations Rules
 31.26.01 – Master Metering Rules
 31.31.01 – Gas Services Rules
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the Commission direct Staff to submit the necessary forms to publish a Notice of Intent to Promulge Rules in the Administrative Bulletin.
COMMISSION DECISION Does the Commission wish to approve Staff’s recommendations? Anything else?
