Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                            RS 09590

When the Idaho Constitution was amended to create a commission for 
reapportionment, it was necessary to adopt statutes to describe the 
way the commission would conduct its activities.  Overlooked at the 
time, was a need to clarify the public record laws with respect to 
draft redistricting plans adopted and research requests prepared for 
presentation to the commission, as such provisions exist for draft 
legislation. This bill would exempt such plans or documents and 
research requests from disclosure, using the same language that 
exists in the code for draft legislation.

                           FISCAL NOTE

This bill would have no fiscal impact.
