This resolution proposes support by the Idaho Legislature of the
five basic promises included in both America's and Idaho's

Communities of Promise in the state; and declares the Legislature

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