This bill amends Section 67-3506 of the Idaho Code to establish a new deadline for the governor to deliver the executive budget document to the legislature. The previous requirement for the governor to transmit the budget document "not later than five (5) days following the convening of each regular legislative session" is deleted. Instead, the bill mandates that the governor must deliver the budget document "on or before December 1" of each year, outlining the financial plan for the upcoming fiscal year.
Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This change aims to provide a more structured timeline for budget preparation and submission, ensuring that the legislature receives the necessary financial information in a timely manner for their deliberations.
