Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS 14594

This proposal amends Idaho Code sections 19-4705 (c) - (h), 31-
3201A(p) and 31-3201B to alter distribution of fines and
forfeiture funds currently allocated between the general fund and
the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) fund.  In
sections 19-4705(c)-(h) and 31-3201A(p) the allocation of funds
to the general fund from fines is reduced by 4%, while the
allocation to the POST fund is increased by 4%.  

In section 31-3201B the fee assessed by the court from certain
offenders to be distributed to the POST account, is increased
from six dollars ($6.00) to ten dollars ($10.00).  The fine and
fee adjustments will provide adequate funding for the increase in
POST's expenses related to providing training for Department of
Correction personnel, and maintaining the new training facility
authorized in FY2002.  


                           FISCAL NOTE

The amendments to Idaho Code sections 19-4705 (c)   (h) and 31-
3201A(p) move 4% of funds derived from certain vehicle-related
fines and forfeitures from the general fund to the POST fund,
representing approximately two hundred eighty thousand dollars
($280,000) based on FY2004 figures.

The amendment to Idaho Code section 31-3201B will generate an
additional eight hundred sixty-six thousand, eight hundred
dollars ($866,800) into the POST fund (estimate based on FY2004
activity).  The total fiscal impact into the POST fund is
estimated to be $1.1 million.
