SENATE BILL 1167
RS30644C1 / S1167
This is a trailer bill to House Bill 24 to impose additional sideboards on the Idaho Launch program. It makes several key changes: 1) It enhances legislative oversight of the Idaho Launch program to heighten program accountability; 2) It ensures greater “skin in the game” from Launch participants by capping the maximum state match at 80% and the maximum grant at $8,000; 3) It further limits the use of Launch funds to just tuition and fees; and 4) It limits the Launch program to just community colleges and workforce training providers.
By focusing on just community colleges and workforce training providers, the fiscal note drops from the $102 million listed on House Bill 24, to a maximum of $80 million, subject to appropriation. The sideboards in this trailer bill may further reduce program costs.
