APPROPRIATIONS – CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS – Relates to the maintenance appropriations to the executive offices of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Controller, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer for fiscal year 2026.

This Idaho bill (H 249) appropriates $76.0 million for fiscal year 2026 to fund the operational budgets of six constitutional offices: Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Controller, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer. It specifies exact funding amounts for each office’s personnel, operating expenses, and benefit payments, while limiting authorized full-time equivalent positions (e.g., Attorney General’s office capped at 227.4 FTEs). The bill also exempts certain offices (Governor, Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor) from standard budget transfer restrictions and includes provisions for fund reallocation. As a funding measure, it directly affects these offices’ budget planning and staffing for the 2025-2026 fiscal year.
