                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                            RS 14740C1

This resolution proposes support by the Idaho Legislature of the
five basic promises included in both America's and Idaho's 
promise to children and youth; encourages expansion of
Communities of Promise in the state; and declares the Legislature
of the State of Idaho as a "Legislature of Promise".

There is no cost to the general fund; however, implementation of
youth programs in local communities could result in future
savings of state expenditures.
