On July 3rd, while Idahoans were prepping for Independence Day festivities, one of Idaho's most powerful executive agencies (Health & Welfare) released an administrative rule dealing with changing the indicator of sex on Idaho's certificate of live birth records to the gender of your preference. This rule allows Idaho citizens to change a legal document if they do not agree with it. Wow! Will criminals be allowed to change police records next? This may become a bit confusing with current list of genders being taught in government schools now topping over 50+! You can view the rule by clicking on the link and looking at pages 164-168 : CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO LANGUAGE

When agency bureaucrats issue a rule (which have the full force of law) you can choose to ignore them or you can attempt to influence them. There are 3 ways to influence the decisions in this rule process but the deadline is quickly approaching. Maybe the reason people in government never listen is because they never hear from you!

Why is this such a big deal?
Idaho is one of only a few states in the union that requires bureaucratic executive agencies to negotiate their rules with the public and take citizens' comments into consideration.
This rule was written outside of the legislative process and was completely denied a review by Idaho legislators! This circumvented your elected representation!
Citizens can make a difference!
