Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to extend the sunset date for the Strategic Initiatives Program and to extend the current version of the Budget Stabilization Fund for five years.

This legislation extends for five years the surplus eliminator that was originally created in H312aaSaaS (2015) and extended in S1206 (2017) until May 30, 2019. Consistent with the changes adopted in 2017, the funds transferred as a result of this legislation will be split equally between state savings and transportation. The Budget Stabilization Fund (BSF) would receive 50% of the funds, and the other 50% would be split between the Strategic Initiatives Program (SIP) within the Idaho Transportation Department (60%) and the local strategic initiatives fund administered by the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (40%).
