This bill appropriates additional funds to the Idaho Commission for Libraries for the fiscal year 2026, totaling $1,273,400, which includes $1,231,000 from the Federal Grant Fund and $42,400 from the General Fund. It also provides reappropriation authority for any unexpended balances from the ARPA Capital Projects Fund for library capital projects, allowing these funds to be used for nonrecurring expenditures during the same fiscal period. Furthermore, the bill mandates that libraries receiving state funds must report their expenditures related to diversity, equity, inclusion, or social justice activities, and it requires the Idaho Commission for Libraries to ensure compliance with specific statutory provisions.

Additionally, the bill imposes restrictions on the use of state-appropriated funds, stating they cannot support certain ideologies and requires libraries to submit reports on their adherence to these guidelines. It establishes conditions for federal funding, ensuring that state funds are not used to replace lost federal support without legislative approval. The bill also includes provisions for reporting on statutory adherence and requires the agency to notify the Budget and Policy Analysis Division of any significant changes in federal funding. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective on July 1, 2025.
