This chapter would then be merged into a new chapter of rules at IDAPA 24.41.01 through a separate rulemaking docket. This repeal and the consolida- tion of rules into the Rules of the Long-Term Care Administrators Board is prompted by HB 28 of 2025 which merged the Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators and the Board of Examiners of Residential Care Facility Administrators into the Idaho Board of Long-Term Care Administrators. Negotiated Rulemaking / Fiscal Impact Negotiated rulemaking for this repeal docket was not conducted. The Division states that negotiated rulemaking was conducted for the new, consolidated rule chapter regarding the Idaho Board of Long-Term Care Administrators. The Division states that no fiscal impact on the state general fund will occur as a result of this rulemaking. Statutory Authority The rulemaking is appears to be within the statutory authority granted to the Division pursuant to Section 54-1605, Idaho Code. cc: Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses - Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators Ryan Bernard *** PLEASE NOTE *** Paul Headlee, Deputy DirecMatt Drake, Manager Keith Bybee, ManagerApril Renfro, Manager Norma Clark, Manager Legislative Services OffResearch & Legislation Budget & Policy AnalLegislative AuditInformation Technology Statehouse, P.O.

As such, the chapters of 24.09.01 and 24.19.01 are consolidated into what is proposed to be entitled IDAPA 24.41.01 – Rules of the Long-Term CareAdministrators Board. FISCAL IMPACT: The following is a specific description, if applicable, of any negative fiscal impact on the state General Fund greater than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) during the fiscal year resulting from this rulemaking: No fiscal impact on the state General Fund will occur as a result of these changes. NEGOTIATED RULEMAKING: Pursuant to Section 67-5220(2), Idaho Code, separate negotiated rulemaking was not conducted because negotiated rulemaking was held for Docket No. 24-4101-2501 regarding the creation of the new merged rules chapter.
