Statement of Purpose |
RS15612 |
Idaho Code authorizes the use of deficiency warrants under certain circumstances. The agencies pay the bills and come back to the legislature during the next session for the cash to reimburse those costs. This legislation includes reimbursement for the costs incurred for three purposes. First, it includes funding to reimburse the Department of Lands for the costs of fire suppression during the 2005 season. Second, it reimburses the Department of Agriculture for fiscal year 2005 costs to survey for pests on state and private lands. And third, it includes funding to reimburse the Military Division for costs associated with the cleanup of hazardous materials incidents throughout Idaho.

Fiscal Note |
This bill transfers $9,385,500 from the General Fund to three deficiency warrant funds for fiscal year 2006 as follows:
1) The Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) estimates the costs of fire suppression for the 2005 fire season at $11.3 million from the General Fund. However, existing fund balances of $2.1 million can be used leaving the needed transfer of $9,250,000 to the Fire Suppression Deficiency Fund.
2) Last year’s costs were $30,800 for the exotic pest survey program and $17,000 for gypsy moth survey for a total transfer of $47,800 from the General Fund to the Pest Control Deficiency Fund.
3) Costs associated with the cleanup of hazardous materials incidents throughout the state totaled $178,000. Of that amount, $77,000 was paid by the responsible parties involved and $101,000 was paid by the issuance of deficiency warrants; however, an additional $13,300 was later recovered after the issuance of deficiency warrants. As a result, JFAC approved a transfer of $87,700 from the General Fund to the Hazardous Substance Emergency Response Fund.
