Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 17372

State agencies spent $4,297,800 in FY2006 and $5,347,600 in FY2007
for "printing and binding" services (State Controller's Office
fiscal data).  Some portion of these expenditures is for state
publications intended for use by Idaho citizens.
The return on this investment by state government will be greatly
increased by creating a web-accessible digital repository of state
publications and bringing the 1972 depository system for public
documents into the 21st century.

The proposed legislation will make public documents published by
state government more accessible to the public for whom they are
intended. It will make finding and retrieving information easier
and more cost-effective for Idaho citizens and help state entities
reach their intended audience in a more cost-effective way.
The proposed legislation will expand citizen access to the
information in state publications by:

-  Establishing a digital repository to replace the outdated
   depository system;

-  Providing a definition of "state publication" and other
   relevant terms;

-  Replacing the requirements to submit 20 copies of public
   documents with more cost-effective requirements for the digital
   repository; and

-  Providing for exemptions from the requirements.



                           FISCAL NOTE

There are no accurate figures on the annual volume or cost of Idaho
state publications.  A sample survey estimated that in the spring
of 2007 the equivalent of one terabyte of public documents was
published with state tax dollars, and projected at least 30% annual
growth.  State agencies complying with the current depository
requirements will undoubtedly experience a decrease in expenditures
as a result of the proposed digital repository requirements as well
as an increase in the reach of their state publications.
Estimated costs for the Commission for Libraries to implement the
digital repository are $202,000 for the first year, and $132,000
ongoing funds to maintain it:
Capital - $30,000 (OT) for server, storage, UPS, etc.;
Operating - $50,000 ($40,000 OT) for content management license;
Personnel - $122,000 ongoing for 1 FTE Librarian and 2 FTE OS2.
