JFAC approves technical fund correction for Idaho Transportation Department
Summary
The committee corrected a maintenance budget fund error for ITD, moving small amounts between the state highway fund and the state highway dedicated fund to allow proper expenditure authority.
The Joint Finance‑Appropriations Committee approved a technical correction to the Idaho Transportation Department’s FY2026 maintenance budget to fix an accounting error that placed expenditures in the state highway fund rather than the state highway dedicated fund.
Brooke Dupree, Legislative Services analyst, told the committee the correction is net zero and moves $2,400 for the Division of Motor Vehicles and $92,000 for the Highway Operations Division into the State Highway Dedicated Fund from the State Highway Fund so the department can expend the money from the correct source. Representative Handy moved both corrective motions and Senator Cook seconded. The committee recorded unanimous approvals on both items; combined roll calls showed 20 ayes, 0 nays and no absences in the panel votes and the motions will carry due‑pass recommendations.
Analysts said the correction is clerical in nature: identical statutes govern authority to expend once money is appropriated from the proper dedicated fund. The committee treated the item as a procedural fund shift to ensure ITD can use previously authorized dollars.
