Transition to digital material usage
Committee chair, Sen. Patti Anne Lodge, along with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, ended the committee practice of providing paper, folders, and binders for panel members to use for reviewing rules and statutes. The change had anticipated savings of over $5,000. Committee members were still allowed to bring paper notebooks into meetings, but the department no longer provided documents or rules in paper form, distributing files through an electronic format instead. The change began in 2011.[3]
