Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                
                            RS10544
                                
This legislation provides that interest earned on idle funds in 

the State Aeronautics fund will be retained in that fund for the 

benefit of the State Aeronautics program.  Presently such earned 

interest is transferred to the General Fund.  

The purpose of this legislation is to increase the amount of 

funding available to support Aeronautics programs, specifically 

as match for Federal funds earmarked for improvement of Idaho's 

airport.

                         FISCAL IMPACT

The State Treasure's Office reports an average interest earnings 

ranging between 6.00% and 6.25% on funds in the Aeronautics Fund. 

At these rates the interest yield on an estimated monthly cash 

balance of $500,000 in the State Aeronautics account would be 

about $31,000 annually.  This legislation would cause the General 

Fund revenues from interest earned to decrease and the States 

Aeronautics fund to increase by the amount of annual interest 

earned.
