Adds to existing law to provide for the Idaho personnel reduction act and to provide for the reporting of state employee travel expenses.

This legislation does not increase or decrease any governmental revenues, nor does it require the expenditure of any governmental funds. It will have the effect of reducing government spending as unneeded positions vacant for 180-364 days, and all positions that have been vacant for a year or more, are eliminated. The exact amount of such savings will not be known until all agency budget requests are submitted on September 1, 2025. Additional savings on state employee travel expenses are also likely as better data on these costs are compiled and submitted to state budget policymakers.
