Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                           RS 15466C1

This bill will provide an Idaho income tax credit for Project
P.A.T.C.H., which stands for "planned assistance for troubled
children."  This credit is already provided for several other
schools with similar missions. Project Patch is a residential
school, treatment facility, and wilderness program located in
Garden Valley, Idaho since 1990.  It is fully licensed by Idaho
Health & Welfare and accredited by the Northwest Association of
Accredited Schools, Idaho Department of Education, and Joint
Commission of Accreditation on Health Care Organizations.



                          FISCAL IMPACT  
              
Based on donations given in 2005, a maximum credit of $100 or 50%
(whichever is less) per donor would give a potential credit of
$14,557.50.
