25    Fund, as provided in Section 63-2412,  Idaho  Code,  are  hereby  continuously

27    those funds.

28        SECTION  3.  In response to the final report, issued in January of 1996 by
29    the Legislative Interim Committee on Transportation Issues, the  Idaho  Trans-
30    portation Department scheduled one hundred (100) positions for deletion over a
31    three  (3) year period. It is legislative intent that the Idaho Transportation
32    Department retain twenty-nine (29) of the one hundred (100)  positions  sched-
33    uled  for deletion and that the Idaho Transportation Board be given the flexi-
34    bility to move those positions to any program as needed to best minimize over-
35    time, compensatory time, and excess vacation time.

36        SECTION 4.  In accordance with Section  67-3519,  Idaho  Code,  the  Idaho
37    Transportation  Department  is authorized no more than one thousand seven hun-
38    dred forty-six (1,746) full-time equivalent positions at any point during  the
39    period July 1, 1998, through June 30, 1999, for the programs specified in Sec-
40    tion  1 of this act, unless specifically authorized by the Governor. The Joint
41    Finance-Appropriations Committee will be notified promptly  of  any  increased
42    positions so authorized.
