Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                            RS 16469

To repeal the Poison Control Act (Idaho Code §56-1036 through 
§56-1040). This law states that the Department of Health and 
Welfare shall “establish and support…a statewide poison control 
center”. This law was passed in 1996; however no appropriation 
accompanied the legislation.  Since 1996, Idaho’s poison control 
center has been funded with federal Temporary Assistance to 
Needy Families (TANF) funds which are no longer available. 
Without the appropriation of state general funds to replace the 
federal dollars, there will be insufficient funds to maintain 
the poison control center.


                           FISCAL NOTE

Repealing this law will not impact state general funds as no 
General Funds currently support the poison control center.
