APPROPRIATIONS – DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION – PERMANENT BUILDING FUND – Relates to the appropriation to the Department of Administration for the Division of Public Works for fiscal year 2026.

This bill appropriates $122.86 million from Idaho's Permanent Building Fund to the Department of Administration's Division of Public Works for fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). It directly funds maintenance projects ($68.2 million, including ADA compliance and building repairs) and capital projects ($42.1 million, such as the ISU Life Sciences Complex and U of I military center). The bill requires the Division to report on project progress and unspent funds to the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee by November 2025, with unused balances for completed projects or long-delayed projects becoming available for new uses. It does not change state law but allocates existing funds for specific state building and facility needs.
