Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the budget of the Idaho Bureau of Educational Services for the Deaf and the Blind.

This bill requires the Idaho Educational Services for the Deaf and the Blind (IESDB) to submit their annual budget request to the Legislature and the Governor as it was approved by their Board. Current law requires IESDB to go through a public process of budget hearings and public testimony, but then requires IESDB to submit to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction by August 1 for the Superintendent’s review and approval. This bill removes that second step and requires IESDB to submit their budget request consistent with other state agencies. This legislation aligns Idaho Code with the current process of how IESDB submits its budget.
