 Proposed Rules & Legislation

1.     Adoption of Pending Rule IDAPA 07.05.01 Passed, effective 4/2/08

--The rule change is necessary to facilitate the enforcement of changes to the subcontractor naming requirements contained in House Bill No. 139 enacted by the 2007 Idaho Legislature. The proposed rule changes consolidate two existing specialty construction categories that involve HVAC work into one category. This will eliminate the HVAC work being done.  

2.     Amendment to Idaho Code § 54-1904 (RS17406) (HB476) Passed, effective 7/1/08

--Amends existing law relating to public works contractors to provide for a Class Unlimited license; to provide for qualifications for a Class Unlimited license; to revise the qualifications for certain other classes of licenses; to provide that specified bids, with an exception, must not exceed the estimated cost or bid limit of the license held; to require that the aggregate total of bids include all bids of subcontractors; and to provide that subcontractors’ bids must not be considered a separate item for the purpose of computing the bid on a public works project.
