Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 08534

This bill is one of a series of bills that the Justices of
the Supreme Court transmitted to the Governor in their annual
"defects in the law" report under Art. 5, Sec. 25 of the Idaho
Constitution

Idaho Code  49-1303 requires a driver of a motor vehicle
which collides with an unattended vehicle to stop and locate the
owner or leave certain information identifying the driver and
describing the circumstances of the accident.

However, this statute presently requires that this
information must be left in a conspicuous place in the unattended
vehicle which requires an impossibility if the unattended vehicle
is locked.

This bill amends I.C.  49-1303 to provide that the required
information must be left in a conspicuous place either in or on
the unattended vehicle.

                            FISCAL NOTE

This bill will not have an impact on state or local funds.
