Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                  STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                         RS 11314

This bill is proposed as an energy conservation measure. By 
exempting Mountain Standard Time from daylight savings time in 
the state of Idaho, a significant savings in the use of electrical 
energy and decreased costs for the consumers of electricity would 
result.


                       FISCAL IMPACT


There is no fiscal impact to the general fund. However, there 
would be a reduction in costs to ratepayers throughout the state.
