| Statement of Purpose |
| RS14517C2 |
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 includes funding to reimburse the Department of Lands for the costs of fire suppression during the 2004 season. Second, it reimburses the Department of Agriculture for fiscal year 2004 costs to survey for pests and to suppress and eradicate Mormon crickets and grasshoppers on state and private lands. And third, it includes funding to reimburse the Military Division for costs associated with the cleanup of hazardous materials incidents throughout Idaho.

This bill transfers $1,675,100 from the General Fund to three deficiency warrant funds for fiscal year 2005 as follows:
1) The Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) estimates the costs of fire suppression for the 2004 fire season at $4.4 million from the General Fund. However, existing fund balances of $3,125,800 can be used leaving a transfer of $1,274,200 to the Fire Suppression Deficiency Fund.

3) Costs associated with the cleanup of hazardous materials incidents throughout the state that could not be collected from responsible parties amounted to $141,600 in fiscal year 2004. JFAC approved a transfer of $141,600 from the General Fund to the Hazardous Substance Emergency Response Fund.
