H 725 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION – Amends existing law to provide that the director of the Department of Administration may provide certain services to cities.

This bill (H 725) expands Idaho's Department of Administration's authority to provide services to cities. It amends existing law to explicitly allow the department's director to offer services - such as group insurance or administrative support - to cities under mutually agreed contracts, with cities covering all associated costs. Previously, the department could provide similar services only to schools, colleges, and universities. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2026, and does not change funding sources or create new state obligations.
