Idaho Senate sends tax conformity bill back to House
BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — House Bill 559, which conforms to all tax provisions within the One Big Beautiful Bill of 2025, was discussed by the Idaho Senate on Friday. Earlier this week, the bill was sent to the House floor with a “do pass” recommendation.
The places this bill differs from federal tax policy are in bonus depreciation, a provision allowing businesses to take a large deduction on qualifying property within the property’s first year of service. Idaho has historically decoupled from this provision and will continue to do so in this bill.
House Bill 559 follows a plan implemented by Delaware requiring businesses under a current amortization agreement to finish that agreement in full to spread the fiscal impact into future years.
The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Jeff Ehlers, R-Meridian, said in his opening remarks that the decision to make the taxes retroactive is to “capture the full benefit for individuals.” He said he believes the fiscal impact of a $155 million reduction in revenues for fiscal year 2026 and $175 million for fiscal year 2027 is “reasonable.”
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
The Senate voted to return it to the House with a 28-7 pass vote. It now heads to the governor’s desk.

I remember watching a documentary about Idaho’s wildlands. A narrator said there were probably many parts of the state where no human being has ever set foot. I believe that, but I stay relatively close to the highways. If I were 30 years younger, I would probably enjoy exploring the back country, but today, unless a plane takes me in and out, it’s not happening. I can’t say definitively that there is one spot that I find better than others. We’re surrounded by beautiful terrain, however. One place keeps calling me back.
Like a Scene from a Legendary Movie
When I go over the mountain between Gooding and Fairfield, I take time to stop at the overlook above the Camas Prairie. It reminds me of a scene in Exodus, where the Paul Newman character takes an American woman to look across a flat plain leading to Mount Tabor. He explains that’s the site where Deborah gathered her armies. It makes me feel there is something godly about the Camas Prairie. I keep going back to this spot. Sometimes I take along a folding chair and sit and look at the world below.
Slow Down and See the Work of the Creator
Fairfield may be nothing more than a blip as people speed down Route 20, but it’s their loss. On the other side of the highway is some of the prettiest country in Idaho. It’s going to be a lot less lush this spring, but drought conditions haven’t been nearly as severe in the central highlands. But if I’m granted a few more years by the Almighty, I plan to see the prairie for many more springs.
