BY RESOURCES AND CONSERVATION COMMITTEE
1 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
2 STATING FINDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND AUTHORIZING THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TO

4 ISSUES.
5 Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
6 WHEREAS, the First Regular Session of the Fifty-eighth Idaho Legislature
7 adopted House Concurrent Resolution No. 25 which authorized the appointment of
8 a committee to undertake and complete a two-year study of natural resource
9 issues, including issues relating to water, throughout the state of Idaho; and
10 WHEREAS, the committee's official term expired on November 30, 2006, and
11 numerous natural resource-related issues continue to pose concerns for the
12 future of Idaho and the quality of life our citizens enjoy including, but not
13 limited to, the stabilization of the water distribution system.
14 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Session
15 of the Fifty-ninth Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and the
16 Senate concurring therein, that the Legislative Council is authorized to
17 appoint a committee to undertake and complete a study of natural resource
18 issues of importance to the state of Idaho. The committee shall consist of ten
19 legislators, with five from the Senate and five from the House of Representa-
20 tives. The Legislative Council shall authorize the committee to receive input,
21 advice and assistance from interested and affected parties who are not members
22 of the Legislature.
23 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislative Council is authorized, in the
24 event it deems necessary, to expand membership of the committee to continue to
25 study and evaluate ways to stabilize the water distribution system in Idaho.
26 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the cochairmen of the committee are authorized
27 to appoint advisors with technical expertise in the water supply arena and are
28 expected to receive input from stakeholders in the water rights system of
29 Idaho to attempt to stabilize the water delivery system in this state.
30 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any advisors to the committee who are not leg-
31 islative members shall not be reimbursed from legislative funds for per diem,
32 mileage or other expenses and shall not have voting privileges regarding the
33 committee's recommendations and proposed legislation.
34 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall make a progress report to
35 the Second Regular Session of the Fifty-ninth Idaho Legislature and shall make
36 a report detailing its findings, recommendations and proposed legislation, if
37 any, to the First Regular Session of the Sixtieth Idaho Legislature.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 16891
This resolution would authorize the Legislative Council to
continue an interim committee to undertake studies of natural
resource issues, particularly those water resources of the state.
FISCAL NOTE
If this resolution is adopted by the Legislature and the
committee is continued by Legislative Council, any necessary
legislator travel and per diem expense would be paid from the
existing legislative appropriation to the Senate and the House of
Representatives. Funding for staff support and expenses would be
provided from the existing appropriation to the Legislative
Council for the Legislative Services office. There would be no
additional impact upon the state general fund as a result of this
resolution.
