Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                    STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                           RS 10547

POST Academy is funded solely from dedicated funds through a 
penalty assessment from Idaho Code 31-3201B.  The POST budget 
is presently more than the revenue generated through this 
assessment.  This proposal amends Idaho Code 31-3201B to raise 
the assessment from six dollars ($6.00) to nine dollars ($9.00), 
effective July 1, 2001.  Without an increase, POST will have 
to drastically cut back its operations and charge a large 
tuition to city, county and state agencies for sending their 
officers to the basic training academy.  This fee increase has 
the full support of the POST Council, the Idaho Association of 
Chiefs' of Police and the Idaho Sheriffs' Association.

                        FISCAL NOTE

There will be no fiscal impact to the state of Idaho or other 
levels of government.  The increase in needed revenues for the 
POST Academy would be generated from the actual law violators, 
not the citizens of Idaho in general.
