STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS09377
Amend Title 22, Chapter 1, Idaho Code, Section 22-101 to
provide authority for the director to use the title of
"secretary" for the purpose of conducting business in
international matters. The term "director" is not a
common title in a number of foreign countries. Giving the
director authority to use the title "secretary", a common
title, would promote a better understanding of his
responsibilities and authority.
