Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                             RS 12706
This legislation would correct an outdated Idaho Code reference
relating to the investment of the surplus funds of irrigation
districts and would grant to irrigation districts the authority,
already held by cities under Section 50-1013, Idaho Code, to
invest surplus funds in local improvement district bonds or
warrants in addition to other types of state or local government
bonds.
                          FISCAL IMPACT

No fiscal impact to the state general fund.
