The bill amends Section 67-5711 of the Idaho Code, which governs the construction, alteration, equipping, furnishing, and repair of public buildings and works. The key changes include increasing the cost threshold for projects that require oversight from the director of the Department of Administration and the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council from $100,000 to $200,000. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the director and the council must comply with bidding procedures outlined in section 67-5711C when letting contracts. It also specifies exemptions for certain departments, such as the Idaho Transportation Department and the Department of Fish and Game, from some administrative oversight while still requiring adherence to bidding procedures.

Furthermore, the bill includes technical corrections and allows the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council to adopt rules for inspection and maintenance programs consistent with existing law. An emergency clause is included, declaring that the act will take effect on July 1, 2025.
