Agencies must report agreements within 10 days

Beginning July 1, 2026, every Idaho state agency must report any signed agreement, including sub‑agreements, within 10 business days. Reports must be filed through the State Controller’s portal and include the title, dates, parties, purpose, agency contact, any amendments, and money details like total cost, funding sources, and payment schedule. Agencies update the original report for amendments, including the last amendment date and any new end date. Some items are exempt, such as most employee agreements (not settlements), invoices and purchase orders, student housing and aid agreements, and short‑term template forms. The Department of Administration reports statewide contracts, while each agency reports any sub‑agreement it signs.

Cure deadlines and possible budget holdbacks

Beginning July 1, 2026, each agency must review, update, and certify its reported agreements each year by January 1. If the Controller sends written notice of a reporting failure, the agency has 30 days to fix it or must commit to comply by a date no later than 60 days after the notice. Each year by January 5, the Controller sends the Legislative Services Office a list of agencies that did not cure. Agencies that remain noncompliant may face budget holdbacks the next fiscal year, at the Joint Finance‑Appropriations Committee’s discretion, only if the Legislature approves the budget and the Governor gives final approval.

Public online list of state agreements

Starting July 1, 2026, the State Controller keeps a public list of reported agreements. The list shows the required report fields unless public‑records law allows withholding. The Controller watches agency compliance, can help agencies, and may report problems to the Governor and Legislature. The Controller also issues and posts reporting guidance in the same place as the public list.
