PUBLIC FUNDS – Adds to existing law to establish the America250 Commemoration Fund and the America250 Advisory Committee.

H 357 creates the Idaho America250 Commemoration Fund and Advisory Committee to support the state's participation in the 250th anniversary of America's founding. The fund, financed by remaining 2024 legislative appropriations and donations, will be managed by a 7-member advisory committee (including the state historical society director and governor-appointed members) that approves all spending. All unspent funds must transfer to Idaho's general fund by June 30, 2027, as the bill includes a sunset clause. This bill directly affects state entities coordinating the anniversary commemoration.
