Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS10696

This bill provides additional fiscal year 2001 funding in the amount of $9,500,000 from the General Fund and $5,000,000 from the Fire Suppression Deficiency Fund to the Idaho Department of Lands for fire suppression.

.

&nbsp

Fiscal Note

Idaho Code, 38-131 and 38-131A authorize the state board of land commissioners to approve deficiency warrants to cover the costs of fire suppression on state and private forest and rangelands under the protection of the Department of Lands and Timber Protective Associations. There were 302 fires which burned 82,909 acres during the 2000 fire season. This bill reimburses the deficiency warrant fund from the General Fund and provides spending authority for reimbursements received from other states or federal agencies for assistance Idaho provided to them.
