H 482 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

APPROPRIATIONS – Relates to the appropriation and transfer of moneys in the state treasury for fiscal years 2025 and 2026; provides an additional appropriation to the Military Division for fiscal year 2025; and provides pay increases to the Military Division in accordance with the federal general schedule pay scale.

This bill, now effective as enacted (with certain sections vetoed), primarily provides $330 million from the General Fund to the Public School Income Fund for fiscal year 2026 and requires the Military Division to implement pay increases aligning with the federal General Schedule pay scale for fiscal year 2026. It was amended by the governor, who vetoed Sections 1-5 (including the $200,000 military appropriation and several fund transfers) but upheld Sections 6-7 (school funding and military pay adjustments) effective July 1, 2025. The law directly affects Idaho public schools through the school funding transfer and military personnel through the pay scale adjustments. Key provisions include the school fund transfer and mandatory military pay parity with federal standards, with no new taxes or fees specified.
