This bill appropriates $122,861,900 to the Idaho Department of Administration's Division of Public Works from the Permanent Building Fund for fiscal year 2026, allocating funds for various maintenance and capital projects. The appropriation includes $68,208,800 for maintenance projects such as alterations, repairs, building maintenance, and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, and $42,085,000 for specific capital projects including expansions and facility improvements at locations like the Ponderosa Office, Bonneville County Readiness Center, and various state universities. The bill provides flexibility for the Division of Public Works to use these funds for matching federal or private donations, reallocate project savings with advisory council approval, and potentially repurpose funds from projects that have not commenced within four years. The division is required to submit a detailed report to the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee by November 15, 2025, explaining project statuses, expenditures, and any delays. The bill includes provisions for identifying and recommending the use of unexpended funds from completed or stalled projects, and declares an emergency to ensure the act takes effect on July 1, 2025.
