Bill > H0284

This bill amends Section 67-3506 of Idaho Code to change the deadline for when the governor must transmit the state budget document to the legislature. Previously, the governor was required to submit the budget document within five days of the regular legislative session convening. The bill now mandates that the budget document must be delivered on or before December 1st each year. The budget document will continue to consist of four parts, as outlined in Section 67-3507, and will include budget requests from the legislative and judicial departments as they were originally submitted. The bill includes an emergency clause, indicating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This change aims to provide the legislature with the state's financial plan earlier, potentially allowing more time for budget review and preparation before the legislative session begins.
