Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Carryover funds for elections and IT
The law lets unspent FY2026 money keep working in FY2027. Any leftover election audit or election system upgrade funds at the Secretary of State carry into July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027. The State Controller can use up to $2.5 million of unspent Data Processing Services Fund money for one‑time Computer Service Center work. Unspent General Fund money for the behavioral health reporting data system also carries into FY2027 for one‑time costs. The Controller must confirm each amount with the Legislative Services Office before processing.
FY2027 funding and staffing for state offices
The law funds Idaho’s Constitutional Officers with $89,468,100 for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. It sets maximum staff positions: Governor 17, Lieutenant Governor 3, Attorney General 227.40, Controller 125, Secretary of State 35.50, and Treasurer 30. The Governor’s Office and Attorney General can move money freely between programs and expense classes; the Lieutenant Governor can move money between expense classes. Money cannot be moved between funds without the Legislature’s approval, and funds must be used for the listed programs and expense classes in that year.
Stronger state cash controls and fee caps
The State Controller moves unencumbered Technology Infrastructure Stabilization Fund balances into a control account and returns unused money at year end. The Controller must match cash in Luma to the Treasury system monthly from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 and report findings by October 16, 2026. On June 30, 2027, the Controller transfers assessed indirect costs from the Indirect Cost Recovery Fund to the General Fund. Bank service fees are capped at $406,600 from the General Fund and $221,700 from the Treasurer’s Professional Services Fund for FY2027. The America250 Commemoration Fund can spend donations and interest during FY2027 without a new appropriation, for uses in Idaho Code 57-832.
