NOTICE OF PENDING RULE

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule has been adopted by the agency and is now pending review by the 2000 Idaho State Legislature for final adoption. The pending rule becomes final and effective at the conclusion of the legislative session, unless the rule is approved, rejected, amended or modified by concurrent resolution in accordance with Section 67-5224 and 67-5291, Idaho Code. If the pending rule is approved, amended or modified by concurrent resolution, the rule becomes final and effective upon adoption of the concurrent resolution or upon the date specified in the concurrent resolution.

AUTHORITY: In compliance with Section 67-5224, Idaho Code, notice is hereby given that this agency has adopted a pending rule. The action is required by the Legislature’s repeal of Sections 61-801 through 61-818 (Motor Carrier Act) and restructure of Section 9-340, Idaho Code (Public Records Act).

DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY: The following is a concise explanatory statement of the reasons for adopting the pending rule and a statement of any change between the text of the proposed rule and the text of the pending rule with an explanation of the reasons for the change.

In 1999, the Legislature repealed the Motor Carrier Act (Idaho Code §§ 61-801 through 61-818) and restructured the Public Records Act (Idaho Code § 9-340). The Commission’s proposed changes are non-substantive and necessary to reflect 1999 legislative action.

The pending rule is being adopted as proposed. The original text of the proposed rule was published in the October 6, 1999 Idaho Administrative Bulletin, Volume 99-10, pages 452-458.
