RS07706
This measure would give the income from the Idaho State
lottery wholly to the school districts to be used for
building, maintenance and repair of school buildings.
FISCAL NOTE
The distribution of lottery revenues to the public schools
(K-12) would double. In FY 1997 the total distribution would
have been $20.0 million instead of $10.0 million; in FY 1998
total lottery revenues are estimated to be $19.5 million. The
income to the Permanent Building Fund would decrease by $9-10
million per year.
