                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                            RS 15595C1

The purpose of this legislation is to exempt from the property
tax any increase in the net taxable value of real property of a
taxpayer in excess of five (5) percent per year.
     
This legislation provides that the property included in the
calculation of the exemption shall include each parcel of real
property owned by the taxpayer, provides that the exemption does
not apply to forest lands, provides that the Legislature declare
the exemption necessary and just, and provides for rules.
     
This legislation also declares an emergency and provides for
retroactive application.

                                
                          FISCAL NOTE

Any impact to the general fund will be positive, in that circuit
breaker payments could decrease.

The 2006 school M&O budget amount is set by multiplying the 2005
adjusted value by .003.  Therefore, this bill will have no impact
to school M&O in 2006.  The first impact is in 2007.  The
increase in school M&O funds will be reduced by $19 million.

It is estimated that the increase in revenue for all other taxing
districts in Idaho will be lessened by $8 million in 2006, due to
levy limits.  In no event will a year-to-year actual decrease in
revenue occur.
