                     STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                            RS 12327C1

This Legislation amends Sec. 67-4212 to update the statutory list
of state parks.  Because it has been some time since the list was
updated, eight (8) new state parks need to be added to the listing,
including: Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, Coeur d'Alene Parkway, Box
Canyon, Billingsley Creek, Glade Creek, Ashton-Tetonia Trail, Land
of the Yankee Fork Historic Area, and Castle Rocks, including any
Department lands in Cassia County situated outside the City of
Rocks National Reserve boundaries.  Additionally, the name of Old
Mission State Park has been changed, by agreement with the Coeur
d'Alene Tribe, to Coeur d'Alene's Old Mission State Park and the
Packer John Cabin Site in Adams County is no longer a State Park
area. 



                         FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact from this change in statute.
