 9        SECTION 1.  That Chapter 1, Title 63, Idaho Code,  be,  and  the  same  is

20    making the payment or credit. Upon receipt, the amount shall be deemed paid on
21    the date the charge was made.
22        (2)  The commission may pay, through discount or otherwise, any fee  to  a
23    financial  institution  or  credit card company for a payment made pursuant to
24    this section from the proceeds of the taxes or other amounts paid prior to any
25    other distribution of the proceeds required by law. The necessary  portion  of
26    the  proceeds collected under this section is hereby appropriated for the pur-
27    pose of paying the fee.
