STATE BUDGET – Amends existing law to provide for the executive budget document to include certain information pertaining to certain recommendations.
This bill requires Idaho's executive budget document to include specific details when the governor recommends actions that would need new legislation to implement. The key provision mandates that the budget document must contain a draft of any necessary legislation and list at least one willing sponsor from each chamber of the legislature. Additionally, if recommendations require conditions or restrictions, the budget must include draft language for those requirements. This change affects the governor's budget submission process and provides the legislature with clearer information about proposed actions that require their approval.
