Idaho s annual budget for the fiscal year 2021 sits around $4 billion and the state received $1.25 billion in federal aid back in April as part of the CARES Act with Dec. 30 as the deadline to spend the funds.
Over the last eight months, a committee put together by Governor Brad Little has worked to get that money out to several different areas of need throughout the Gem State.
With a week left to spend the funding while the coronavirus pandemic continues, Idaho may soon be able to continue spending the remaining $40 million.
