In one paragraph

Idaho's H 917 (2026) would have enacted the AI Regulatory Review Act (new Title 67, chapter 34), requiring every state agency to have an AI system review its regulations and guidance documents during its periodic review under Idaho Code 67-5292. Qualified agency staff would have had 30 days to verify and approve the AI's output, and no rule could be amended or repealed on AI analysis alone. Agencies would have had six months to start. It was introduced March 17, 2026, and then reported printed and referred to the Business Committee (undated), with no later action.

Plain-English summary, written with AI assistance. The official text controls.

What it means for business

No duties for businesses because the bill did not pass. Had it become law, it would have bound state agencies, not private parties.

Key provisions

  1. Would require AI-assisted review of all agency regulations and guidance documents, covering whether mandates are required by law, duplication, plain language, compliance costs and economic impact (§ 67-3404)
  2. Would bar amending or repealing a rule based solely on AI analysis; qualified personnel must approve all AI outputs within 30 days after the AI review (§ 67-3405)
  3. Agencies keeping a provision flagged by the AI would have to document why (§ 67-3405)
  4. Would require each agency to publish an annual report and present it to a legislative committee (§ 67-3406)
  5. Would require each agency, within six months, to acquire AI systems, complete the reviews and start rulemaking (§ 67-3407)
  6. Would have taken effect on passage and approval under an emergency clause; the text sets no penalties and no sunset
