HEALTH AND WELFARE – Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to remove provisions previously related to the Department of Health and Welfare that are now assigned to other state agencies.

H 202 amends multiple Idaho Code sections to remove outdated provisions related to the Department of Health and Welfare and transfer those responsibilities to other state agencies. For example, it shifts food safety inspection duties from the Department of Health and Welfare to the Department of Agriculture and revises procedures for handling unsafe food products. The bill also repeals obsolete sections, such as one about transferring employees, and makes technical corrections to align laws with current agency structures. These changes primarily affect state agencies by clarifying administrative responsibilities without altering public services or creating new requirements.
