Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 14684

The 2002 report of the Idaho Racing Commission was not made
available to the public until early 2004.  Untimely reporting of
data from the Commission and the licensees who conduct the racing
meets make it difficult for horsemen and other interested
citizens to obtain up-to-date information about the horse racing
and simulcasting industries in Idaho.  This bill would require
that the annual report be made available within three months of
the end of the year (March 31) and that the report include data
that the Commission has the regulatory power to collect.


                           FISCAL NOTE

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.
