Bill > S1379

This bill amends existing Idaho law to increase the Project Choice program fee from three dollars ($3.00) to eight dollars ($8.00), which is collected in addition to various vehicle registration fees and deposited into the Idaho law enforcement fund. The Project Choice program fee is used to create career ladders and provide salaries to encourage the hiring and retention of trained and qualified personnel within the Idaho State Police, specifically for commissioned officers, dispatch personnel, and forensic personnel. The bill also includes a severability clause, meaning if any part of the act is found invalid, the rest will remain in effect, and declares an emergency, making the changes effective on July 1, 2026.
