This bill amends Idaho state budget law to clarify how agencies can spend non-state funds and establish rules for interagency transactions. It requires prior approval from financial management officials before agencies can use outside money like insurance settlements or capital asset sales, with a $10 million annual limit on such spending. The legislation also creates a formal interagency billing system allowing state agencies to charge each other for goods and services, while maintaining existing rules for agencies selling to the public. These changes aim to improve financial accountability and standardize how state agencies handle internal and external revenue streams.
