STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 09375
This legislation increases the number of commissioners on the Commission on Uniform
State Laws from three to four. Commissioners are members of the Idaho State Bar who serve
without compensation, though they are reimbursed the expenses they incur in attending the
annual conferences. Each commissioner devotes between 50 and 100 hours of his time annually
to the work of the commission, including seeking the enactment of uniform acts by the Idaho
Legislature and attending an eight day meeting of the National Conference of Commissioners on
Uniform State Laws, all as required by statute. The work of the commission and the national
conference has significantly increased and additional demands have been placed on
commissioners to devote more time reviewing and negotiating proposed legislation with state bar
committees and other interested groups. The size of the Idaho commission has not changed since
it was created in 1919 and is one of the smallest for states of comparable size. An additional
commissioner will enhance the work and effectiveness of the Idaho commission.
FISCAL NOTE
$2,000 per year.
