Idaho立法者冻结了为国民警卫队教育津贴提供的资金190K美元,将方案削减到最初水平的39%。 Idaho lawmakers blocked $190K in funding for National Guard education benefits, cutting the program to 39% of its original level.

爱达荷州联合财政拨款委员会拒绝了第二次要求恢复爱达荷州国民警卫队教育计划的190,800美元的州资金, Idaho’s Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee rejected a second request to restore $190,800 in state funding for the Idaho National Guard’s education program, which provides up to $8,000 annually in tuition support for enlisted members. 此项决定使该方案的运行率保持在前水平的大约39%左右。 The decision leaves the program operating at about 39% of its former level. 立法者列举了相互竞争的预算优先事项,一些有争议服务成员可以通过私人奖学金或低成本学校来吸收500美元的削减。 Lawmakers cited competing budget priorities, with some arguing service members could absorb a $500 reduction through private scholarships or lower-cost schools. 批评者警告说,这一举动会损害招募和留住人员,并指出Idaho在全国军事教育支助中排名接近底部。 Critics warned the move could harm recruitment and retention, noting Idaho ranks near the bottom nationally in military education support. 公共卫生方案目前也仍然没有资金,决定推迟到今后预算讨论后作出。 Public health programs also remain unfunded for now, with decisions deferred to future budget discussions.
