STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27627 / S1344
This legislation amends Idaho Code § 67-1917 to require state agencies to include additional budget information
in their annual reports to the Division of Financial Management. Currently, all agencies must include a complete
list of all federal funds received and any state matching funds required or proposed in order to use federal funds.
The bill will require state agencies to include within their budget submission, a documented plan to reduce or
eliminate the services provided through federal grants in the event federal funding is reduced by 50 percent or
more.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to any fund source. The added requirements are currently being used by
many agencies through their internal budgeting process and this will simply increase transparency by requiring
this information to be part of the full submission to the Department of Financial Management and the Legislative
Services Office.
