Summary:
JFAC began with a presentation from Legislative Services on the general fund and the “green sheet,” explaining how the committee tracks starting cash, revenue forecasts, transfers, appropriations, and ending balances. The analyst walked through general fund revenue sources, the difference between transfers and expenditures, structural balance, and how the green sheet is used to compare current-year collections against forecasts. Members asked about continuously appropriated funds, federal dollars, sales tax exemptions, and cash reconciliation issues tied to the state’s new Luma finance system and interest allocations. The discussion also covered the revenue monitor and how the committee can use it to track collections against forecasted amounts.
The committee then moved into the Department of Health and Welfare’s overall budget overview. Legislative Services reviewed the department’s size, organizational structure, vacancy rate, five-year spending trends, and the role of continuously appropriated funds such as the Idaho Children’s Trust Fund and Rural Physician Fund. Members asked about personnel vacancy rates, reverted funds, and whether the department could provide a list of subgrants and trustee-and-benefit payments. Department officials explained that some vacancies reflected a department-wide review, hiring freeze, and FTP realignment, including moving positions to State Hospital South and reverting some federal spending authority. They also said the department was actively filling funded positions and would provide additional information on grants and other payments.
The committee then heard the first division-level budget presentation for Indirect Support Services. The analyst described the division’s role in centralized administration, IT, legal, communications, and management support, along with its staffing, historical expenditures, and base budget changes. The division’s budget request included a one-time irrigation system project at State Hospital West, a fund adjustment for the background check unit, the transfer of 58 FTP and related costs to the Office of Information Technology as part of modernization, and a request to remove restrictive budget language on personnel and trustee-and-benefit transfers. The governor’s recommendation also included support for some replacement items and a major new item tied to Idaho’s Rural Health Transformation Program, including 12 limited-service FTP in 2026, ongoing FTP in 2027, and $294 million in one-time operating funds. Members questioned the need for the new FTP, the use of AI, the definition of “rural,” and the mechanics of the IT transfer; department and ITS officials explained the transfer was a budget shift of personnel and operating costs, not a net increase in staffing. The committee adjourned after members also raised broader concerns about public input on Health and Welfare budgets and suggested a joint public meeting with the Health and Welfare committees.

Summary:
The committee began by approving the minutes from February 18, 2026, and welcomed a new page, Kaylin Short, who briefly introduced herself. The sponsor then presented House Bill 662, explaining that it would allow additional milk quality parameters, including potential bacteria-related testing, to be addressed in rule. He noted the bill would let the department create a new category and establish rules for how such testing would be handled, and he asked for a due pass recommendation.
A motion was made and the committee voted unanimously to send House Bill 662 to the floor with a due pass recommendation. The sponsor was excused after agreeing to carry the bill on the floor. The committee then received an informational presentation from the Idaho Beef Council on its checkoff-funded work, including consumer promotion, research, education, beef quality assurance training, Spanish-language training, and food insecurity efforts through Beef Counts.
Council representatives described recent marketing campaigns such as “Real People, Real Stories,” an Albertsons training partnership, and a “hero” video highlighting Idaho ranching and sustainability. They also discussed collaboration with University of Idaho Extension on BQA training and noted an online BQA option through NCBA. No action was taken on the presentation, and the chair adjourned the meeting after noting two supporters of House Bill 662 had not been given time to testify.

Summary:
The Housing, Agriculture, and Tourism Subcommittee met for its final meeting of the session and heard two bills. HB 1245, the Hunger-Free Campus Pilot Program, would create a pilot program in the Department of Agriculture for selected public postsecondary institutions with high Pell Grant populations to form hunger task forces, help students enroll in SNAP, provide on-campus food assistance, and develop meal-credit donation programs. The bill also directs OPPAGA to study food insecurity at public postsecondary institutions and recommend policy changes. Representative Franklin spoke in support, emphasizing student food insecurity and the impact of inflation on college completion. The bill had no amendments, no public opposition, and passed unanimously.
The committee then heard HB 983 on homeowners associations, which would expand enforcement and oversight tools related to HOAs, including allowing local law enforcement and sheriffs to investigate, inspect, and audit associations, adding realtor disclosure requirements, and revising recall provisions to make it easier for homeowners to remove boards. An amendment was adopted to prohibit nominating committees in HOAs, aligning the statute with condominium law and preventing those committees from blocking candidates. Public testimony on the amendment and bill was in support, including from a Miami-Dade Sheriff representative and others. Members from both parties praised the bill as a homeowner-rights measure, and the bill passed unanimously as amended.
After the bills, members offered closing remarks thanking Chair Salsman, the vice chair, ranking member, staff, and each other for a collaborative session. Several members highlighted the committee’s work on housing, agriculture, tourism, and the hemp work group, and the chair reflected that the committee process was intended to be member-driven and inclusive. The meeting then adjourned.

Committee:
Joint Joint Committee on Public Service
Summary:
The Joint Committee on Public Service held a hybrid hearing focused on insurance and retirement-related bills. Representative Hendricks testified in support of H.2874, which would create a Medicare buy-in program for certain state retirees age 65 and older who are not currently Medicare eligible, with the Commonwealth paying Part A premiums and late penalties. He argued the bill would reduce retiree health costs for the state and municipalities while improving benefits for retirees. Don Buckley also testified in support of H.2874, describing his own situation as a long-serving state retiree without Medicare coverage and urging passage of the bill.
Paul Jakes of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts and Michael Riley of the Massachusetts Association of Contributory Retirement Systems testified in support of H.2999/S.1862, which would provide fair worker representation on joint purchasing group committees. Riley also supported H.2933/S.1816, which would add a seat on the PRIM Board for non-state teacher retirement systems, and H.2954/H.1813, which would change the criteria and duration for systems considered underperforming in the public employee retirement system funding rules. He said the changes would better reflect current conditions and limit forced participation in PRIT to five years rather than in perpetuity.
Committee members asked no questions during the hearing. After testimony concluded and no additional witnesses came forward, the committee voted to adjourn.
