This bill appropriates additional funds to the Office of Species, Minerals, and Energy Coordination for the fiscal year 2027, specifically for the State Historic Preservation Office Program. The total appropriation includes $1,292,300 from the Federal Grant Fund, which is a new insertion in the bill, along with other funds from the General Fund and Miscellaneous Revenue Fund, bringing the total to $1,699,700. Additionally, the bill authorizes an increase of twelve full-time equivalent positions for the Office of Species, Minerals, and Energy Coordination during the same fiscal period.

Conversely, the bill reduces the appropriation for the Idaho State Historical Society by the same total amount of $1,442,300 from the Federal Grant Fund, which is also a new insertion. It further decreases the full-time equivalent positions for the Idaho State Historical Society by twelve. The bill exempts the Office of Species, Minerals, and Energy Coordination from certain expense class and program transfer limitations, allowing for more flexibility in fund management. The act is declared to be an emergency measure, taking effect on July 1, 2026.
