bill also provides funding for the equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state
employees. The enrollment workload adjustment and endowment adjustments are included.
The bill funds four line items, which provide $32,790,000 for COVID-relief funding to be spent after July 1st;
$400,000 to Lewis-Clark State College for the nursing program; a reduction of $2,500,000 to remove state
support for social justice programming at Boise State University, Idaho State University, and University of
Idaho; and $400,000 to Lewis-Clark State College for a tuition offset for FY 2022.
