APPROPRIATIONS – CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS – Relates to the maintenance appropriation to the Constitutional Officers for fiscal year 2027.
This bill allocates $89.4 million in state funding for fiscal year 2027 to Idaho's Constitutional Officers, including the Attorney General, State Controller, Governor's office, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer. The legislation sets specific spending limits for personnel, operating expenses, and capital projects for each office while establishing the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions for the coming year. It also grants certain offices flexibility to move funds between expense categories and programs, allows for indirect cost recovery by the State Controller, and transfers cash from the Technology Infrastructure Stabilization Fund to the Control Agency Account. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2026, and was signed into law by the Governor.
