Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 17564

This bill amends Section 31-2307, Idaho Code by deleting the
requirement for counties to publish their annual statement of
fiscal condition. It moves that responsibility to an already
established code section in Section 31-819, Idaho Code. The
county would still be required to publish a summary of the
balance sheet and statement of revenues and expenses with 30 days
after the annual audit is prepared.                         



                           FISCAL NOTE

There will be no fiscal impact to the State General Fund or any
county fund.
