Department asks JFAC to allow transfer flexibility for new Family and Community Partnerships division
Summary
As part of a reorganization, the department asked for an exemption from maintenance-bill transfer restrictions so the newly named Family and Community Partnerships division can move funds between expense classes as needed.
The Department of Health and Welfare requested that the Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee allow continued flexibility for inter-expense-class transfers for its reconstituted Service Integration division, now titled Family and Community Partnerships.
Alex Williamson, Legislative Services analyst, said the governor’s recommendation includes an exemption from the maintenance-bill transfer restrictions for both a one-time FY2025 supplemental and as an ongoing FY2026 enhancement, allowing transfers in accordance with Idaho Code 67-35-11.
Director Alex Adams told the committee that the division coordinates partnerships and nonclinical supports — for example, arranging free state park passes and fishing licenses for foster families — and said transfer flexibility will give the new division the same administrative tools other agencies have as it establishes operations.
No formal vote was taken during the hearing; committee members asked clarifying questions and the department said it will provide any follow-up documentation the committee requests.
