EDUCATION - Repeals existing law relating to the Youth Education Account.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Title 33, Chapter 47, Idaho Code, established the Youth Education Fund. The fund does not currently exist and does not appear to have actually been established since the chapters enactment in 1992. The original intent of the legislation was to establish the Fund within the State Treasury and have it be comprised of appropriations, donations, contributions, gifts or grants. The Board, the Department of Health and Welfare, the Idaho State Police and the Idaho Transportation Department could contribute funds to and seek grants from the Fund. Monies from the Fund were to be used exclusively for the production and purchase of radio and television advertising designed to advise children of the risks and problems associated with the use of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Resources are currently provided through the public school budget process for the state's Safe and Drug Free School program.
