STATE BUDGET -- Adds to existing law to provide for the Idaho personnel reduction act and to provide for the reporting of state employee travel expenses.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation deals with state budget issues. First, it makes state government more efficient by requiring state agencies to identify all employee positions that have been vacant for over a year and either eliminating the position and reducing the agency budget request accordingly, or funding and filling the position using existing funds. In doing so, this could reduce the size of government agencies to a level at which they have already demonstrated the ability to operate. Second, it requires state agencies to report on employee travel for the previous fiscal year when each state agency submits its annual budget request to the Governor and the Legislature.
