IDAPA 45.01.01 § 003
LIBERAL CONSTRUCTION – NO CONTESTED CASES
Operative Text
These rules will be liberally construed to secure just, speedy and economical determination of all issues presented to the Commission. Unless prohibited by statute, the Commission may permit deviation from these rules when it finds that compliance with them is impracticable, unnecessary or not in the public interest. The Commission specifically does not adopt the Attorney General’s rules regarding Contested Case Proceedings. By statutory authority, the Commission does not conduct contested case proceedings. (3-31-22)
IDAPA 45.01.01 § 003 establishes that Idaho's Commission interprets its own procedural rules broadly, favoring outcomes that are fair, efficient, and cost-effective. The Commission retains discretion to allow departures from its rules when strict compliance would be impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. Notably, the Commission does not conduct contested case proceedings and has not adopted the Attorney General's rules governing such proceedings.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under IDAPA 45.01.01 § 003, property owners and managers interacting with the Commission can expect a flexible procedural environment where the rules are applied with an eye toward practical and efficient resolution. Because the Commission does not conduct contested case proceedings, the formal adversarial hearing process associated with those proceedings is not part of how the Commission resolves issues. Operators generally familiarize themselves with the Commission's specific procedural framework rather than assuming standard contested-case procedures apply.

IDAPA 45.01.01 § 003 means that when tenants bring issues before the Commission, the Commission is directed to handle matters in a just, speedy, and economical manner, with some flexibility in how its rules are applied. Because the Commission does not conduct contested case proceedings, tenants should be aware that the dispute-resolution process here differs from a formal administrative hearing. Tenants seeking to understand how to present an issue to the Commission may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Idaho's regulatory framework.
