Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS13687

Idaho Code authorizes the use of deficiency warrants under certain circumstances. The agencies pay the bills and come back to the legislature during the next session for the cash to reimburse those costs. This legislation includes reimbursement for the costs incurred for three purposes. First, it reimburses the Department of Agriculture for fiscal year 2003 costs to suppress and eradicate Mormon crickets on state and private lands. Second, it includes funding to reimburse the Department of Lands costs of fire suppression during the 2003 season. And third, it includes funding to reimburse the Military Division for costs associated with the cleanup of hazardous materials incidents throughout Idaho.
