Boise, Idaho – Governor Brad Little issued the following statement today as the 2026 legislative session adjourned today.
“For months, the Idaho Legislature and I worked closely to balance the budget and rightsize spending in line with taxpayers’ means. We stayed focused on what matters most to Idaho’s future — protecting public schools and investments in water and transportation, supporting public safety, and continuing implementation of President Trump’s Talent Strategy through LAUNCH.
“Some of the budget decisions were not easy, but I am pleased the Legislature stuck to my ENDURING IDAHO plan — a forward-looking, responsible budget that keeps our state on a strong trajectory. Idaho’s economy remains the strongest in the nation, and our actions this session position us to continue that record of success. I appreciate my legislative partners for their hard work and commitment to the people of Idaho,” Governor Little said.
