This bill amends Section 67-3507 of the Idaho Code to enhance the executive budget document by requiring it to include specific information related to legislative recommendations. The bill introduces a new structure for the budget document, which will now consist of four parts: a budget message from the governor, detailed estimates of agency needs, annual performance plans, and federal funding reports. Additionally, if the executive budget contains recommendations that necessitate legislative action, it must include a draft of the required legislation and the names of at least one member from both the House of Representatives and the Senate willing to sponsor the legislation.

Furthermore, if any recommendations require conditions, limitations, or restrictions to be implemented, the budget document must also provide draft language for these provisions. The bill aims to ensure transparency and facilitate the legislative process by providing necessary information upfront. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective on July 1, 2026.
