STATE BUDGETS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding executive carry forwards.

This bill modifies Idaho's state budget rules to clarify how certain unpaid financial obligations, known as executive carry forwards, are handled between fiscal years. It allows specific purchase orders and unprocessed requisitions to carry over to the next fiscal year without requiring additional approval, while also setting a deadline of October 1 for these obligations to be paid or they will revert to their original funding source. The changes primarily affect state agencies and departments responsible for managing budgets and purchasing, ensuring that funds are used efficiently without being reserved across years unless necessary for legitimate accrued costs. Exemptions are included for vocational education reimbursements and major construction contracts, which already have different carry forward procedures.
