Bill > H0249

This bill provides maintenance appropriations for the executive offices of constitutional officers in Idaho for fiscal year 2026, allocating a total of $76,026,600 across six key offices: the Attorney General, State Controller, Executive Office of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer. The bill breaks down funding into three main expense categories: personnel costs, operating expenditures, and trustee and benefit payments, with funding sources primarily drawn from the General Fund and supplemented by various specialized funds like the Consumer Protection Fund, Federal Grant Fund, and Miscellaneous Revenue Fund. Additionally, the bill authorizes a specific number of full-time equivalent (FTP) positions for each office, with the Attorney General's office having the largest allocation of 227.40 positions, and provides exemptions that allow these offices some flexibility in transferring funds between expense classes and programs. The bill also includes provisions for reappropriating unspent funds from the previous fiscal year for specific purposes, such as the State Controller's data processing and behavioral health reporting systems, and sets limitations on certain expenditures like bank service fees. The appropriations are designed to ensure the continued operation of these critical state government offices, with the act set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and an emergency clause declaring its immediate necessity.
