H 65 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

WORKER’S COMPENSATION – Amends existing law to move the definition of “member of an employer’s family.”

Idaho's H 65 is a technical correction bill that moves the definition of "member of an employer’s family" from Section 72-212 to Section 72-102 of the worker’s compensation law. It removes the outdated definition from Section 72-212 and updates references in several other sections to correct code citations. This bill does not change eligibility or benefits but clarifies the legal framework for existing definitions. It affects how the term is applied in all worker’s compensation cases under Idaho law. The bill became effective July 1, 2025, after being signed by the Governor.
