APPROPRIATIONS – DIVISION OF CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION – Relates to the appropriation to the Division of Career Technical Education for fiscal year 2026.

This bill allocates $12.3 million in state and federal funds to Idaho's Division of Career Technical Education for fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). It directs $10 million from the General Fund specifically for capacity enhancements at technical colleges (including College of Eastern Idaho, College of Southern Idaho, and others), requiring annual reports on fund usage.
