Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                            RS 17075

This legislation requires the Governor to direct that the POW-MIA
flag be displayed daily at the State Capitol, Idaho State
Veterans' cemeteries and Idaho State Veterans' homes.  The
legislation allows but not directs that the POW-MIA may be flown
at other state or local government buildings.


                          FISCAL IMPACT

There may be a small fiscal impact associated with the purchase
of the flags and associated equipment to display the flag.
