Bill > H0358

This bill amends existing Idaho law to establish comprehensive reporting requirements for state agencies' agreements, creating a new standardized process for documenting and disclosing various types of contracts and memorandums. The legislation requires all state agencies to report any executed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), Memorandums of Agreement (MOAs), and other agreements to the state controller within ten business days of execution, using a designated online portal. The required report must include details such as document title, execution and end dates, participating entities, a brief summary, agency contact information, monetary value, and funding sources. The bill defines key terms like "master agreement" and "sub-agreement" and provides exemptions for certain routine documents like employee agreements and purchase orders. Agencies must annually review and certify their reported agreements by January 1, and the state controller will maintain a public list of these agreements while monitoring compliance. The primary goal of this legislation is to enhance transparency in state government by creating a centralized, accessible system for tracking inter-agency and external agreements, with the new requirements set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
