STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30075 / H0058
This legislation modifies Idaho code that relates to School Bond and Levy election dates. The changes to Idaho
code would consolidate elections for bonds and levies with the May primaries and November general election,
removing the March and August interim elections. The result is likely to be greater voter turnout, and reduced
costs.
FISCAL NOTE
While it is difficult to predict the overall fiscal impact, there will likely be cost savings. As an example, special
elections in Kootenai County cost the taxpayers $85,000 to administer.
