EDUCATION – Amends and repeals existing law to move up the sunset date of the Idaho Launch program and the In-Demand Careers Fund.

Idaho bill H269 extends the expiration date for two education programs: the Idaho Launch Grant Program (which provides tuition grants for students pursuing in-demand careers) and the In-Demand Careers Fund (which supports workforce training). It moves the sunset date from July 1, 2029, to June 30, 2026, effectively extending program funding by three years. The bill also repeals Section 72-1206 (the In-Demand Careers Fund) and removes related provisions from tax distribution law. These changes directly affect Idaho residents enrolled in eligible career-training programs at community colleges or approved institutions.
