Idaho Admin. Code r. 31.01.01.276
The Commission is not bound by settlements. It will independently review any settlement proposed to it to determine whether the settlement is just, fair and reasonable, in the public interest, or otherwise in accordance with law or regulatory policy. When a settlement is presented for decision, the Commission may accept the settlement, reject the settlement, or state additional conditions under which the settlement will be accepted. In the last instance, the parties will have twenty-one (21) days to state their acceptance or rejection of the additional conditions imposed by the Commission. If the Commission rejects the settlement or if the Commission's conditional acceptance of a settlement is rejected by the parties to the settlement, the Commission will notify the parties of procedures to be followed to decide the issues for which settlement was rejected by the Commission.
