                    STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                              
                          RS 12511

     
     This bill is one of a series of bills that the Supreme Court has recommended in its
annual report to the Governor concerning defects or omissions in the laws, as required under
article V, section 25 of the Idaho Constitution.
     
     This bill amends Section 18-310, Idaho Code, relating to the suspension of the
rights of citizenship and the right to possess a firearm when a person has been sentenced
to the custody of the State Board of Corrections, to correct an erroneous reference therein
to the crime of lewd conduct with a minor child under sixteen years of age.
  
   Section 18-310(2), Idaho Code, restores a person's civil rights, including the right to
possess a firearm, if he or she has received a final discharge upon a conviction of a felony
offense, except in respect to certain enumerated crimes.  One of these enumerated crimes,
"lewd conduct with a minor child under the age of sixteen," is identified by statute
number as "18-1508(3), (4), (5), and (6), Idaho Code."  There are no subsections in 18-
1508, Idaho Code, and this bill removes these subsection numbers.
     


                                 FISCAL NOTE

     This bill will not have an impact on state or local funds.
