The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee approved a package of agency budget items across several departments and divisions during the same session.
Idaho State Police: LBB analyst Noah Peterson outlined replacement-item requests and enhancements for the Brand Inspection division and other ISP programs, including a $2,288,100 request from the State Brand Board Fund for replacement items (trucks, tablets/laptops), a $500,000 federal commercial vehicle safety grant increase, a $551,500 one-time pilot for mobile live-scan fingerprint devices (55 devices) and $3,228,600 for other replacement items including 27 patrol vehicles. The committee approved the combined ISP motions on recorded roll-call votes and issued a do-pass recommendation.
POST Academy: The committee approved $324,100 from the Peace Officer Standards and Training Fund for replacement items (vehicles, cell-door repairs, office equipment and cameras).
Department of Juvenile Corrections: The committee approved a clinician-services transfer ($327,000 GF appropriation to be appropriated directly to IDJC), $939,000 for replacement items and $1,035,800 for IT hardware, and restored 6 FTE and $593,900 ongoing GF for direct-care staff and mentoring services; the motion passed on a recorded vote.
Department of Administration: LBB analyst Frances Lippert presented enhancements including aligning utility costs to rent receipts, and requests for Medicaid procurement staff in Purchasing. Committee debate produced substitute motions and one adopted motion that ultimately passed on roll-call, authorizing additional dedicated-fund appropriations and two full-time equivalent positions as recorded by the clerk.
Military Division: The committee approved a $120,000 dedicated-fund indirect cost recovery enhancement for emergency management and a $190,800 GF request for the state education assistance program; the motion passed on a roll-call vote.
The chair closed the day's business and scheduled the next committee meeting for Monday, March 9.
