Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

The board of county commissioners of
any county may, in conjunction with development of their annual budget, by
resolution adopted at a public meeting of the board, establish a county
justice fund to provide funding for the operation of the county sheriff's
department, construction, remodeling, operation and maintenance of county
jails, juvenile detention facilities and/or county courthouses, operation of
the prosecuting attorney's office, provision of public defender service and
otherwise court-appointed counsel, and operation of the office of the clerk of
the district court, to the extent that operation of that office provides
support for the district court. The justice fund shall be separate and
distinct from the county current expense fund and expenditures from the
justice fund shall be solely dedicated to the purposes set forth in this
section.
At the discretion of the board of county commissioners, funds deposited in
the county justice fund may be allowed to accumulate over a period of years
for designated capital improvements or be expended on a regular basis.
