Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS12601

One-time spending authority is shifted from the General Fund to dedicated funds to provide support to animal damage control districts. This legislation would spend down a cash balance in the Sheep Regulation Fund generated from two sources. First, revenues come from a 3 cent per pound of wool fee charged to wool growers for animal damage control. (Prior to July 1, 2002, .25 cents was remitted for scrappie indemnity). Second, the brand inspector collects revenues on cattle, horses, mules, and dairy cows subject to brand inspection and remits 4 cents per head to the Idaho State Department of Agriculture for animal damage control. The monies are passed through to the animal damage control board for distribution to the federal Wildlife Services for programs including magpie and starling control and predator control.

Fiscal Note

This supplemental appropriation increases spending authority in dedicated funds by $40,000 and reduces the General fund appropriation for animal damage control by $34,900 for a total of $5,100. This bill will increase the appropriation from these dedicated fees from $144,300 to $184,300 on a one-time basis for fiscal year 2003 and decrease the General Fund support from $148,100 to $113,200 on a one-time basis. The remaining $5,100 in dedicated spending authority is included to offset the 3.5% General Fund holdback in place for the current year.
