BY EDUCATION COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO THE IDAHO SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND THE BLIND; AMENDING CHAPTER 34,
3 TITLE 33, IDAHO CODE, BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SECTION 33-3409, IDAHO
4 CODE, TO PROVIDE FOR A GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY RESERVE; AND DECLARING AN
5 EMERGENCY.
6 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
7 SECTION 1. That Chapter 34, Title 33, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
8 hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
9 ignated as Section 33-3409, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
10 33-3409. GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY RESERVE. The board of trustees of the
11 Idaho school for the deaf and the blind may create and establish a general
12 fund contingency reserve within the annual Idaho school for the deaf and the
13 blind budget. Such general fund contingency reserve shall not exceed five per-
14 cent (5%) of the total general fund appropriation to the Idaho school for the
15 deaf and the blind. Disbursements from this continuously appropriated fund may
16 be made as the board of trustees determines necessary for contingencies that
17 may arise. The balance of the contingency fund may be accumulated beyond the
18 budgeted fiscal year, but shall never exceed five percent (5%) of the current
19 year's appropriation to the Idaho school for the deaf and the blind.
20 SECTION 2. An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby
21 declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
22 passage and approval.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 12014
Thiss legislation allows the State Board of Education, serving as
the Board of Trustees for the Idaho School for the Deaf and the
Blind (ISDE), to create and establish a general fund contingency
reserve. Currently, Idaho Code provides that all Idaho school
districts are allowed to create such a fund. The Idaho School for
the Deaf and the Blind serves as the public school for children
from birth to age 21 who are unable to be educated in local
public schools because of their hearing or vision disability. In
this capacity, the school maintains multiple buildings, several
of which serve as residences for students attending the school. A
contingency fund would greatly enhance the school’s ability to
manage its business affairs and to meet unforeseen financial needs,
especially when faced with unexpected building repairs or other
such circumstances.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.
