Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS08748

In some school districts, vending machines generate large sums of money. these
revenues remain the only large item of receipts for which accounting and audit trails are
not required in Idaho Code. Some districts already properly account for this class of
receipts, but some do not.

This proposal would require proper, normal accounting procedures for vending
machine revenues.

                           FISCAL NOTE

None. Proper accounting will likely conserve funds and improve public confidence
in operations of the districts.
