Idaho Legislature Adjourns Sine Die

The 2026 legislative session adjourned sine die April 2 after lawmakers passed ethics in procurement and campaign finance bills. Effective July 1, House Bill 889 establishes a vendor debarment process for certain infractions, preventing a bidder from bidding on state projects or services for up to three years. The bill includes a revolving door provision restricting former officials and individuals from working with vendors for one year after leaving public office. Vendors, employees of vendors, or any person working on their behalf must report financial expenditures over $50 related to procurement. House Bill 930 requires all political candidates and political committees to open a separate checking account for the purpose of collecting contributions and paying expenses. Campaign funds must not be commingled with any other account. House Bill 930 was delivered to the governor on April 2, and if signed will be effective July 1.
