• Description – Significant dates; Agency plans submitted to JFAC for 1% and 2% budget reductions

Gov. Brad Little ordered a 3% budget holdback for all agencies except public schools on August 15, 2025.

The Joint-Finance Appropriations Committee voted for further reductions on Feb. 6, another 1% in FY 2026 and 2% in FY 2027.

Division of Financial Management administrator Lori Wolff wrote a letter on Feb. 10 asking JFAC to restore $13 million of funding to specific programs “where reductions pose the most risk or harm to Idaho families, businesses, and communities.”

The joint budget committee voted on Feb. 13 to incorporate their combined 5% reductions into the FY27 maintenance budgets.

Submitted by state agencies through the Division of Financial Management to the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee via the Legislative Services Office’s Budget & Policy Analysis Division on Jan. 30.
