Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                    STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                          RS 17452
                              
  This bill provides that the State Law Library will
  continue to be in Boise, but removes the requirement that it
  be located in either the State Capitol or the Supreme Court
  building.  This will allow greater flexibility and
  efficiency in the use of the Supreme Court building and open
  up additional options for housing the State Law Library. 
  The bill contains an emergency clause, which will permit
  moving the State Law Library and remodeling and use of the
  present Law Library space in the most timely and efficient
  manner during the current fiscal year.
  
  
                        FISCAL NOTE

  This bill would have no impact on the general fund.
