Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                     STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                               
                           RS 17735
                               
  The purpose of this bill is to clarify that a person who
  violates Idaho Code 54-2702(2), pertaining to transporting
  scrap in an amount over one hundred pounds, may be validly
  prosecuted under Idaho Code 54-2703, which is the penalty
  section for violation of 54-2702.  When 54-2703 was
  originally drafted, no reference was made to persons violating
  54-2702(2), thereby creating a loophole for those in
  violation to escape prosecution and punishment.
  
  
  
  
                        FISCAL IMPACT
  
  There will be no impact on the general fund of the state
  as a result of this bill.
