Budget & Taxes (Income Tax)

This bill eliminates the Commission on Hispanic Affairs from Idaho law and removes it from the list of organizations eligible for state income tax credits. The legislation repeals the existing chapter governing the commission and amends tax code sections to delete references to the commission in tobacco tax revenue allocations and charitable contribution tax credit provisions. While the bill removes the commission's legal status and funding sources, it does not address the underlying policy goals or community needs the commission previously served. The changes take effect on July 1, 2027, following a legislative intent to reduce government bureaucracy.
