Bill > H0247

This bill appropriates funding for the Idaho Legislative Branch for fiscal year 2026, specifically allocating $13,016,400 across two main offices: the Legislative Services Office and the Office of Performance Evaluations. The funding will come from multiple sources including the General Fund, Technology Infrastructure Stabilization Fund, Miscellaneous Revenue Fund, Legislative Capitol Facilities Fund, and Professional Services Fund, with a notable addition of $1,833,700 to the Professional Services Fund. The bill provides these offices with flexibility by exempting them from standard expense class transfer limitations, which means they can move money between different expense categories more freely. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for reappropriating any unexpended balances from the ARPA State Fiscal Recovery Fund for the previous fiscal year, allowing these funds to be used for non-recurring expenses. The bill declares an emergency, which means it will go into effect on July 1, 2025, and emphasizes that all appropriations are subject to specific conditions, limitations, and restrictions outlined in the legislation.
