Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                            RS 17657

The purpose of this legislation is to implement a "zero-based tax
exemption" system which would apply to all Idaho statutory tax
credits, deductions, and exemptions.  It provides for the
expiration of all such credits, deductions, and exemptions on a
periodic basis unless they are reauthorized by statute.


                          FISCAL IMPACT

The impact to the general fund would depend on which tax credits,
deductions, or exemptions are not authorized; to the extent that
any credits, deductions, or exemptions are not authorized, the
impact to the general fund would be positive.
