This bill appropriates additional funds to the Idaho State Police for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, while also reducing the overall appropriation for the latter year. Specifically, it includes new appropriations from various funds, such as the General Fund and the Idaho Law Enforcement (Project Choice) Fund, to support personnel costs, operating expenditures, and capital outlay across different divisions, including the Director's Office, Capitol Protective Services, Investigations, Patrol, Law Enforcement Programs, Support Services, and Forensic Services. Notably, the bill also reduces the authorized full-time equivalent positions by 7.67 for the fiscal year 2026.

Additionally, the bill mandates a report from the POST Council by December 1, 2025, which will provide recommendations on the future of the POST Academy and peace officer training in Idaho. This report will address local funding models, contractual commitments for trained individuals, officer retention strategies, and other relevant considerations. The bill declares an emergency, allowing certain provisions to take effect immediately upon passage, while others will be effective starting July 1, 2025.
