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. The budget document will continue to consist of four parts, as specified in Section 67-3507 of the Idaho Code, and will include requests from the legislative and judicial departments as submitted.
