Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                            RS 10668



The Idaho State Building Authority provides long term
financing of state government facilities for agencies, subject to
prior approval of the Legislature by concurrent resolution. This
proposed amendment increases the honorarium of commissioners of
the Authority from $25.00 per day to $75.00 per day.

This amendment also clarifies how state owned land may be
transferred by lease to the Authority for use in the development
of new state facilities financed through the Authority. In the
past, the state has either conveyed state land to the Authority
or entered into long term ground leases with the Authority for
land on which projects are constructed. The state then leases
land and newly constructed facilities back from the Authority at
annual rental sufficient to pay debt service and other costs
related to financing of the facilities. This amendment clarifies
that the state may lease state land to the Authority for a term
not to exceed fifty (50) years to be used in development of new
facilities financed by long term revenue bonds.

This amendment also clarifies that the long term ground leases of
state land to the Authority may be with or without consideration
paid by the Authority. If such leases require payment of rent to
the state, such cost wil be included in the annual rental payable
by the state for lease of the new facilities. The Idaho
Constitution requires that certain state land acquired and held
as endowment lands may not be leased for less than fair market
rental value. Other state lands may be leased to the Authority at
less than fair market rental value or without consideration.

                          FISCAL IMPACT
                                
The increased honorarium is paid by Idaho State Building
Authority which receives no direct appropriations from the
legislature. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact.
