Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


	            STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                          RS 11954

This legislation confirms long-standing practice that the State Tax 
Commission has the sole authority and responsibility to identify 
and assess operating property in Idaho. This legislation reiterates 
the existing practice in clear language and insures that if 
property is assessed by the State Tax Commission it cannot also 
be assessed as nonoperating property, thereby precluding double 
taxation.



                         FISCAL IMPACT


There should be no fiscal impact on the General Fund since the 
legislation merely confirms existing practice of the Tax 
Commission. The impact on local entities will not be significant 
statewide.
