36 its findings, recommendations and proposed legislation, if any, to the First
37 Regular Session of the Fifty-sixth Idaho Legislature.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS10207C1
It has been nearly 40 years since the purposes, needs, funding
and uses of the Fund has undergone a comprehensive evaluation.
Since that time the amount of revenues available through the Fund
for maintenance, renovation and construction of State building
facilities have significantly declined. In the face of that decline
in revenues, needs have accelerated.
This legislation establishes a legislative interim committee to
study and make recommendations concerning the Permanent Building
Fund's revenue sources, needs, and uses.
FISCAL NOTE
Normal costs associated with legislative special committee expenses.
