HOUSE BILL 735
RS31673 / H0735
This is the FY 2025 original appropriation bill for the Permanent Building Fund. It appropriates a total of $174,908,300 to the Department of Administration for the Division of Public Works. The bill includes ten line items, including: construction of a secure mental health facility; utilities connections for the National Guard's Orchard Readiness Center; facility expansion for Idaho State University's physician assistant program; safety upgrades to the Mechanical-Technical Building and Wittman Complex at Lewis-Clark State College; construction of additional residential cottages at the School for the Deaf and Blind; and an insulated bus storage barn at the School for the Deaf and Blind. Four of the ten line items provide additional funding for existing projects, including: a 848-bed female prison; the new Science and Research Building at Boise State University; the Meat Science and Innovation Center at the University of Idaho; and the MOSS Campus at the University of Idaho. The bill also includes $87,448,300 for building maintenance projects to provide alterations and repairs projects for state agencies and institutions; asbestos abatement; facilities maintenance for the Capitol Mall and Chinden Campus; and statewide Americans with Disabilities Act compliance. The bill also includes a transfer from the General Fund.
The bill repurposes appropriations from prior Department of Correction capital projects to purchase and remodel the Department of Correction Training and Development Center that is currently under a lease agreement. The bill also repurposes contingency appropriation for previously authorized deferred maintenance projects to provide funding for a 100-bed minimum security dorm at the Idaho Correctional Institition in Orofino and additional funding for Idaho State University's physician assistant facilities expansion. Interest accrued in FY 2024 will be used to restore this funding for deferred maintenance.
