22 amended to read as follows:
23 67-4219. INTENT OF LEGISLATURE. It is the intent of the legislature that
24 the department of parks and recreation shall formulate and put into execution
25 a long range, comprehensive plan and program for the acquisition or leasing,
26 planning, protection, operation, maintenance, development and wise use of

30 aged. The department may fulfill this mission by entering into agreements with
31 cities, counties, recreation districts or other political subdivisions of the

33 should enjoy the benefits of federal and state assistance programs for the
34 planning and development of the outdoor recreational resources of the state,
35 including the acquisition or leasing of lands and waters and interests
36 therein. It is the purpose of this act to provide authority to enable the

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 11592
In general, this legislation provides legislative intent that
public entities and institutions should work together in the
use of real estate for the common public good. Specifically,
this legislation makes clear that the Idaho Department of Parks
and Recreation(IDPR) may consider opportunities to partnership
with municipal governments in the innovative use , joint management,
or lease of state-owned land under its control. Frequently,
municipal governments across Idaho need property for parks and
recreation and have difficulty obtaining land. At the same
time, state agencies may have land that could be made available.
In those cases where IDPR has land and determines the quality
of life of Idaho citizens and the public utilization of park land
is benefitted, this legislation makes clear IDPR may enter into
those agreements.
FISCAL IMPACT
This legislation is permissive and depends on future events that
cannot be predicted. Thus the fiscal impact, if any, cannot be
determined.
