Agency Guidance Documents
Agency policy statements and guidance documents shall not have the force and effect of law pursuant to section 67-5207A, Idaho Code.
The Idaho Department of Lands agency guidance documents are available on this webpage. In 2020, Governor Brad Little signed Executive Order 2020-02: Transparency in Agency Guidance Documents. Among other things, it requires that every active Idaho agency guidance document be posted on the agency’s website, organized in a way that is easy for the public to navigate.
