The bill amends Section 67-1085 of the Idaho Code to enhance the reporting requirements for state officers and agencies regarding agreements they enter into. It mandates that all state entities must report any agreements, including memorandums of agreement or understanding, to the state controller within ten days of entering into such agreements. The state controller is responsible for maintaining and publishing a current list of these agreements to promote transparency. Additionally, the bill allows the state controller to develop policies to facilitate the reporting process.

A significant addition to the law is the provision that any state officer or agency that knowingly fails to report an agreement may be subject to liability under chapter 9, title 6 of the Idaho Code. This insertion aims to hold state entities accountable for non-compliance with the reporting requirements. The bill also declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
