Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

	             STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                        RS 11898

This legislation is an addition of a new section 33-1617 to Idaho 
Code, to specify thorough instruction in Natural Resources. This 
additional instruction is necessary. In as much as recycling and 
conservation have been addressed and supported, a variety of 
resource issues are important to Idaho. In this very diverse state, 
multiple use, Biotechnology, and renewable resources must all be 
taught.

                         FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact.
