·	Moving expenses
Mr. Woolf said the Division of Human Resources asked if they needed to take over the whole section of the Board of Examiner’s Web site on moving expenses. Mr. High said the Board of Examiners is a constitutional board and its constitutional duty to examine and allow or disallow claims against the state is not a duty that could be delegated to anyone else. He stated that an Idaho court case held that an agency that was required to adopt rules and did not was not subject to any adverse affect. The only affect pursuant to the APA is that the policies become “agency guidance documents” as defined in the APA and function as policies instead of rules.
Mr. Foltman expressed a need for better management within agencies of their moving reimbursements. Mr. Foltman said there seems to be some variation internally and externally about costs that are allocated to employees being moved.
