S 1172 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

APPROPRIATIONS – DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE – Relates to the appropriation to the Department of Commerce for fiscal year 2026.

This bill reallocates $140,900 within Idaho's Department of Commerce for fiscal year 2026. It appropriates $140,900 from the General Fund to the Broadband Office Program for personnel costs (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026) while simultaneously reducing the same amount from the Commerce Program's personnel budget for the same period. The bill does not create new funding but shifts existing resources between two programs under the Department of Commerce. It was signed into law on March 31, 2025, and takes effect July 1, 2025. This is a budgetary adjustment, not a policy change affecting external entities.
