DIVISION OF OCCUPATONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSES – Adds to existing law to require a temporary moratorium on rulemaking and fees and to provide for the migration of certain administrative rules into statute.

This bill establishes a five-year pause on new regulations and fee increases for Idaho's Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. During this period, the division and its associated boards cannot create additional administrative rules or raise licensing fees, though they may still repeal existing regulations to reduce regulatory burdens. The legislation also requires the division to transfer all administrative rules that are shorter than eight pages into state statutes by December 31, 2026. These changes directly impact the division's ability to manage occupational licensing and affect the businesses and professionals regulated under its authority.
