The money is specifically designated for personnel costs within two programs: State Legal Services and Internet Crimes Against Children.

H 978: APPROPRIATIONS – HEALTH AND WELFARE – PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES – Relates to the appropriation to the Department of Health and Welfare for fiscal year 2027.

This bill appropriates $35.6 million to Idaho's Department of Health and Welfare for public health services in fiscal year 2027, while simultaneously reducing funding for laboratory services and health care policy initiatives. It also decreases the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions by three and mandates several reports on program outcomes, vaccine utilization, and immigration status for HIV prevention services. Although the bill was signed by the President, the Governor exercised a line-item veto on the section reducing funds for the Health Care Policy Initiatives Program.

H 975: APPROPRIATIONS – Relates to the appropriation and transfer of moneys in the state treasury for fiscal year 2027.

This bill would have prevented the transfer of excess money from Idaho's Budget Stabilization Fund to the state's General Fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Instead of automatically moving surplus funds as required by existing law, the bill would have kept those reserves in the stabilization account during that two-year period. The legislation included an emergency clause to take effect immediately upon signing, but it was vetoed by the Governor on April 28, 2026.

The legislation declares an emergency to allow the funding to take effect immediately on July 1, 2026, rather than waiting for the regular budget cycle. This appropriation directly supports the agency responsible for regulating professional licenses and occupational certifications across the state.

It adjusts the percentages of funds allocated to counties, cities, and specific programs like law enforcement, substance abuse treatment, and education over a multi-year period starting in fiscal year 2018. The changes gradually shift more funding toward local governments while maintaining set amounts for state agencies and court-related services.

While it adds new funding from various state funds, it simultaneously reduces the overall budget for Indirect Support Services by over $10 million and cuts authorized staff positions by 58 full-time equivalents.
