STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 16770C1
Idaho Code ยง60-105 establishes the rates charged by Idaho weekly
and daily newspapers for legal notices that are required to be
published in newspapers by Idaho law. The last rate increase
legislation was enacted in 1999. That legislation made the
current publication rate effective in 2001. As with any
business, inflation in cost of materials, labor, and other
related business expenses has increased the cost of publishing
such notices.
This legislation would increase the statutory publication rate by
one cent. The one cent increase would be spread over the course
of two years: one-half cent in October 2007, and another half-
cent in October 2008.
FISCAL NOTE
The current estimated total cost statewide for publishing
official notices by state and local governments for FY 2007 is
$1,404,000. With the enactment of this legislation, the total
cost of each year's half-cent increase would be an additional
$113,800, and is divided among government entity sectors as
follows:
FY 2007 FY 2008 FY 2009
Budget Increase Increase
State Government Agencies $ 379,000 $ 15,400 $ 15,400
County Governments $ 365,000 $ 14,800 $ 14,800
City Governments $ 590,000 $ 23,900 $ 23,900
Other Government Entities $ 70,000 $ 2,800 $ 2,800
TOTAL $1,404,000 $113,800 $113,800
