13 determine for such average number, the per-pupil cost thereof.
14 The amount due the district from the driver training fund in the state
15 treasury shall be the total cost of operating the program, or the average of
16 the number enrolling in the course and those completing the same, multiplied
17 by one hundred ten twenty-five dollars ($11025), whichever is the lesser.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 13640
The purpose of this legislation is to amend Idaho Code 33-1707 to
increase the distribution of funds to public schools for their driver
education programs from $110 to $125 per student enrolled in the course.
Driver licensing fees in the Department of Transportation generate the
funds. The reimbursement has not increased since 1995. The increase
helps offset the average fifty-nine percent (59%) overall increase for
the cost of vehicle fuel, oil, maintenance and insurance, and increased
costs for training materials, equipment and teacher salaries. This
reimbursement increase to schools may reduce the growth of student fees
paid by families for driver education, which have increased one hundred
forty-five percent (145%) since 1995.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. Current driver license fees generate enough revenue to cover this
reimbursement increase.
