H 185 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

IDAHO STATE POLICE – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the catastrophic search subaccount in the Search and Rescue Fund.

This bill increases the threshold for catastrophic search reimbursements from $4,000 to $8,000 per incident. It directly affects county sheriff's offices conducting search and rescue missions by changing how they receive funding for expensive operations exceeding this new amount. The key change revises Section 67-2913 to adjust the catastrophic search subaccount's reimbursement rules, ensuring the first $8,000 of eligible claims comes from the cost reimbursement subaccount, with excess costs covered by the catastrophic subaccount. The bill also makes technical corrections to fund transfer rules between subaccounts when balances exceed specific limits ($25,000, $15,000, $20,000).
