The process and resources for developing legislation can be found in the Executive Agency Legislation Process Manual. This manual will assist you in the mechanics of drafting legislation and the process undertaken to review each proposal to ensure conformity with the Governor’s priorities and initiatives. All executive branch agencies must submit legislation through this process.
The Executive Agency Legislation System (EALS) may be accessed at http://apps.dfm.idaho.gov/eals. There is also an Executive Agency Legislative System User Manual that details how to use the online application.
