A state map that shows the areas of responsibility for the ICfL Area Consultants, with their contact information.

The ICfL may request additional funding, an “enhancement,” to its budget for the fiscal year. The Request is submitted to the Governor and is ultimately voted on by the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee (JFAC). For FY19, one of the enhancement requests is to fund the Idaho Talking Book Service (TBS) with state funds rather than federal funds.

The enhancement requests concern the Talking Book Service and the Maker / Emerging Technologies program, although the funding would impact a number of other ICfL programs and services, as well.
