S 1207 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

APPROPRIATIONS – HEALTH AND WELFARE – OTHER PROGRAMS – Relates to the appropriation to the Department of Health and Welfare for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.

This bill appropriates $3.7 million for Idaho's Department of Health and Welfare's Division of Indirect Support Services for fiscal year 2026, funding both operating and capital expenses. It requires three reports: one on state vehicle efficiency (due Dec. 2025), one on administrative burden for federal grants (due Aug. 2025), and one detailing steps to transition licensing/certification to another division (due Jan. 2026). The bill also restricts state funds from replacing lost federal grants without legislative approval and exempts certain personnel cost transfers for fiscal years 2025-2026. These provisions directly affect the Department of Health and Welfare's budget management and reporting obligations.
