Bill > S1107

This bill appropriates funds for the Public Safety departments in Idaho for the fiscal year 2025-2026, allocating a total of $546,223,200 across three main departments: the Department of Correction, the Department of Juvenile Corrections, and the Idaho State Police. The Department of Correction receives the largest portion of funding at $376,980,500, which covers various programs including management services, state prisons, county and out-of-state placements, community corrections, substance use disorder treatment, and medical services. The bill also sets a strict limit on the number of full-time equivalent positions for each department (2,254.85 for Correction, 409.00 for Juvenile Corrections, and 658.76 for State Police) and provides flexibility for the Department of Correction to transfer funds between programs, with some restrictions on specific programs like County and Out-of-State Placement and Medical Services. Additionally, the bill emphasizes accountability, stipulating that funds must be used for their intended purposes and are subject to management reviews and potential audits. The appropriations will take effect on July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause declaring the immediate necessity of the legislation.
