STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 07438
This legislation authorizes the Idaho Department of Transportation to issue an Idaho Snow Skier
License Plate.
The cost of the plate will be $35.00 for the initial issuance, and $25.00 for each annual
registration thereafter. These fees are in addition to the regular registration.
When issued, $25.00 of the initial fee and $15.00 of the renewal fees will be deposited in the
state highway account to administer the program. The balance, or $10.00, will be deposited in
the Division of Tourism fund for use in the 2002 Olympic Winter Games Strategy Program, as
well as for promotion of Idaho's Ski Industry.
FISCAL NOTE
Since the design of the plate together with the initial cost of the program is borne by the Idaho
Ski Areas Association, there will not be any fiscal impact to the state highway account.
The Ski Industry anticipates this program will generate in excess of $140,000 for use by the
Division of Tourism.
