Idaho House Speaker Mike Moyle said he expects Idaho to conform to many of the federal tax changes championed by President Donald Trump, and he expects the Idaho Legislature to pass additional budget cuts during the upcoming 2026 legislative session to pay for the tax cuts and avoid a budget deficit.
The two related issues – whether to conform with federal tax cuts included in the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Trump signed into law July 4 and how to avoid projected multimillion Idaho state budget deficits in fiscal years 2026 and 2027 – are expected to be two of the biggest issues shaping the annual Idaho legislative session that begins Monday at the Idaho State Capitol in Boise.
