Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                      STATEMENT  OF  PURPOSE
RS08424
This legislation amends the Idaho Credit Union Act to allow the
Department to examine credit unions once every eighteen months, or
more frequently if deemed necessary, instead of annually.

This legislation also amends the Credit Union Act to adjust the
date on which the Department must fix and collect assessment fees
from the credit unions, and the date used to establish total amount
of assets upon which to base the fee.


FISCAL  IMPACT
This amendment would result in a one-time delay of payment of the
assessed amounts to the Department's dedicated fund.
