Bill > H0834

This bill amends existing Idaho law concerning how unspent funds, known as "executive carry forwards," are handled at the end of a fiscal year. Specifically, it changes the deadline for liquidating (paying off) these carry forwards from the end of the current fiscal year to October 1 of the following year, and removes the requirement for approval from the administrator of the division of financial management for such extensions. The bill also clarifies that certain purchase orders issued by the division of purchasing, even if not paid within the fiscal year, will automatically be considered executive carry forwards without needing separate approval. Additionally, it states that any executive carry forward not paid by the new October 1 deadline will revert to its original fund, and it exempts vocational education reimbursements and contracts for major construction projects from these carry forward provisions. The bill declares an emergency and sets its effective date for July 1, 2026.
