| Statement of Purpose |
| RS16689 |
Idaho Code authorizes the use of deficiency warrants under certain circumstances. The agencies pay the bills and come back to the legislature during the next session for the cash to reimburse those costs. This legislation includes reimbursement for the costs incurred for three purposes. First, it includes funding to reimburse the Department of Lands for the costs of fire suppression during the 2006 season. Second, it reimburses the Department of Agriculture for fiscal year 2006 costs to survey for pests on state and private lands. And third, it includes funding to reimburse the Military Division for costs incurred in fiscal year 2006 that are associated with the cleanup of hazardous materials incidents throughout Idaho.

| Fiscal Note |
This bill transfers $4,569,800 from the General Fund to three deficiency warrant funds for fiscal year 2007 as follows:
1) The Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) estimates the costs of fire suppression for the 2006 fire season at $9.1 million. However, existing fund balances and estimated reimbursements result in a needed transfer of $4,379,800 to the Fire Suppression Deficiency Fund.
2) Fiscal year 2006 actual costs were $103,600 for the exotic pest survey program, $17,000 for gypsy moth survey, and a net of $3,800 after reimbursements for potato cyst nematode survey for a total transfer of $124,400 from the General Fund to the Pest Control Deficiency Fund.
3) Costs associated with the cleanup of hazardous materials incidents throughout the state totaled $98,500. Of that amount, $28,500 was paid by the responsible parties involved and $70,000 was paid by the issuance of deficiency warrants; however, an additional $4,400 was later recovered after the issuance of deficiency warrants. As a result, JFAC approved a transfer of $65,600 from the General Fund to the Hazardous Substance Emergency Response Fund.
