RS29978 / H0002

This legislation amends the No Public Funds for Abortion Act. Technical corrections are made along with clarifications. The new section adds 18-8709 to provide for withholding of sales and use tax revenues from local government entities that issue proclamations, or take similar actions, to defy state law and refuse to investigate or enforce Idaho criminal abortion statutes. Said funds may be released to an offending local government if compliance occurs within a certain time. Should the local government entity not comply, said funds shall be forfeited and deposited in the state general fund.

This bill has no negative effect on the state general fund. The general fund may gain funds from city governments in non-compliance with this bill.
