APPROPRIATIONS – HEALTH AND WELFARE – OTHER PROGRAMS – Relates to the appropriation to the Department of Health and Welfare for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.

This bill appropriates $4.9 million for Idaho's Department of Health and Welfare's Division of Indirect Support Services for fiscal years 2025-2026, funding both operating expenses ($851,600) and capital outlays ($4,072,100). It requires the department to submit two reports: one on agency vehicle efficiency by December 2025, and another on transitioning licensing functions to the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses by January 2026. The bill also includes provisions preventing state funds from replacing lost federal funding without legislative approval and exempts certain personnel transfers from standard budget restrictions for both 2025 and 2026. These measures directly affect the department's budget execution, vehicle management, and federal funding compliance.
