STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 17403
Section 23-404(b)(iii), Idaho Code allows for $300,000 to be
transferred annually to the community college account. Over the
past 25 years, the College of Southern Idaho and North Idaho
College have each received $150,000 from this account. With
addition of the College of Western Idaho, the fund will now be
split equally between three community colleges rather than two.
This will result in a loss of $50,000 for CSI and a loss of
$50,000 for NIC.
This legislation will increase the amount to $600,000.
This amount has not increased or been adjusted for inflation for
approximately 25 years. It is a very stable revenue source for
community colleges. The increased amount would provide each
existing community college $200,000 per year.
FISCAL NOTE
$300,000 additional dollars will be taken from the liquor fund.
Each existing community college will receive $200,000 per year.
