Last month while many engaged citizens were concentrating on the primary election, the Idaho Health and Welfare Department passed a temporary rule (through the administrative rules and regulation process) to allow transgender people to change the sex on their original birth certificates. This is the same administrative process is that brought Common Core to Idaho and continues to insert federal code into our state code, making our Idaho bureaucrats nothing more than an enforcement arm to the federal government.
The good news is the Idaho administrative rule process allows and encourages citizens to provide input and encourages agencies to take public comment into consideration before presenting the final language to the Legislature for adoption of the final rule. Idaho is one of only two states that allows this! Remember, once these rules are adopted (in bulk) they have the full force of law.
When we do not exercise our power as citizens, we lose it. PLEASE consider commenting on any of the rules below that may effect you, your family, or the friends and businesses you know.
Five simple steps to help control your government through the rules process:
- Click on this link to view to the entire June Bulletin of administrative rules and regulations: https://adminrules.idaho.gov/bulletin/2018/06.pdf
- Look through the table of contents to see if any of the rules will effect you. (don't be intimidated by the length of the bulletin. Only focus on what effects you personally.)
- Go to the section that will effect you and read the short summary and how to comment on the language. (usually only 1-3 pages)
- There will be directions on how to comment. Send in a comment, participate through teleconferencing, or get 25 signatures to call for a hearing, in your area.
- Remember, ALL power is in the people and the government is set up to serve you. If we do not get involved in this process as citizens, government will do as they will unchecked.
