STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide statement of purpose
H738 (2024) shifted the appropriation of broadband program funds from the Idaho Department of Education (IDE) to the State Board of Education. However, Section 33-5605(1), Idaho Code provides that the IDE shall distribute monies appropriated for broadband and related services. It is necessary to amend Section 33-5605, Idaho Code to ensure all relevant sections of code are in alignment.
FISCAL NOTE

This legislation will have no impact on the state’s General fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund because the proposed legislation would clarify which agency is responsible for distribution of funds already appropriated. No new funding is required.
