STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 17525C1
The purpose of this bill is to provide recognition for the 2008
World Winter Olympics Games, and to provide funding for the 2009
World Winter Special Olympics Games. These major events were
solicited by dedicated volunteers and resulted in Idaho being
named host to both the preliminary event this year and the full-
scale Games in 2009. Funding from the plate will go toward the
promotion of the 2009 Games to generate awareness and support
these tremendous athletes.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the State general fund or to the
State Highway Account. The plate sponsor is responsible for the
programming costs to upgrade the statewide computer system. This
is estimated to cost $3,900.00, which will be charged to the
sponsoring organization of this particular plate.
