Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


          
                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS 13691

     There is currently no inventory reporting to the owners of grain or other
commodities in storage at Idaho warehouses.  Usually, the longer the commodity is in
storage the greater the storage charges, which often accumulate until there is a sale of the
commodity initiated by the owner.
     Owners of such commodities may be elderly or live in other states or towns remote
from the warehouse or the land which they own.  It is very easy for such owners to just
forget they have such assets in storage, and no notice from the warehouse may be given for
years.
     This proposal would simply require a yearly reporting through the U.S. Postal
Service to the last address of record of the owner of such stored commodities by the
warehouse.

                          FISCAL IMPACT

     None on the general fund or local governments.  Costs should be minimal to the
warehouse.  It may be that as owners realize they have salable commodities they will sell
them and some added tax revenue could be generated.  Legal fees may also be reduced.
