ABLE ACCOUNTS – Amends and adds to existing law to provide for ABLE accounts in the state and to establish an ABLE account advisory council.

Idaho's H 26 establishes a state ABLE account program, allowing residents with disabilities to save for qualified expenses (like education or housing) without losing eligibility for state assistance programs like Medicaid. The bill requires the state treasurer to partner with a national ABLE consortium, protects ABLE account assets when determining eligibility for state aid, and directs the Idaho State Independent Living Council to provide technical assistance and financial literacy resources. It also creates an ABLE Account Advisory Council with members including disability advocates, veterans' representatives, and ABLE account owners to guide outreach and program development. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, after being signed by the governor.
