STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 11903
The intent of this legislation is to clarify and modernize
the general statutory provision governing fees charged by the
Office of the Secretary of State. No fees are raised or lowered.
The major changes to Idaho Code Paragraph 67-910 are the
express authorization to enter into agreements with private
companies to provide electronic access to Office records and the
express authorization to delete corporation filings if payment is
not completed. The other amendments simply reorganize the section
and delete surplus language.
