STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27777 / H0525
The purpose of this legislation is to add four new sections to Idaho Code, including sections 31-1614; 50-1050;
67-3533; and 39-427. It is the intent of the State of Idaho to enact these statutory provisions to further the policy
interest of the State in protecting and preserving the life of every unborn child from conception until birth. This
legislations would prohibit the transfer or expenditure of public monies to any individual or organization which
is a provider of abortion services, except where the prohibition is expressly not permitted by federal law. This
prohibition applies at all levels of government in Idaho, including state, county, city, and public health districts.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no cost to any level of government in Idaho associated with this legislation. While specific savings
are difficult to quantify as a result of lack of data regarding providers of abortion services, it is anticipated that
there will be some savings.
