Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

The state shall bear and pay into the forest protection fund its pro rata
share of the assessments provided for in section 38-111, Idaho Code, for fire
protection to state lands and expenses incurred, accruing or contracted for
within each forest protective district in enforcing and carrying out the
provisions of this chapter and protecting the forest lands belonging to the
state against damage, devastation or destruction by fire, in the proportion
which such lands belonging to the state within each forest protective district
of the state bear to the total area of forest land within such protective
district, and the state shall be considered an owner of forest land within the
meaning of that term as used in this chapter, and for the purposes thereof.
The state board of land commissioners may authorize the issuance of deficiency
warrants for the purpose of defraying such assessments, and when so authorized
the state controller shall draw such deficiency warrants against the general
fund. Such moneys as the state shall thus become liable for shall be paid as a
part of the expenses of the state board of land commissioners out of
appropriations which shall be made by the legislature for that purpose. In all
appropriations hereafter made for expenses of said state board of land
commissioners, account shall be taken of and provision made for this item of
expense.
