STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 15954 A vehicle manufacturers license is a class of license, defined in section 49-1606(4), Idaho Code, issued to persons to engage in the business of constructing or assembling vehicles subject to registration under the motor vehicle code, at an "established place of business within Idaho." The purpose of this legislation is to clarify that a vehicle manufacturer's license shall not issue to an applicant that does not have an "established place of business within Idaho" and to require the licensee to notify the Department of Transportation of any change in address or location of the licensee's place of business during the license period. Upon such notification, a new license will be issued to the licensee for the new location for the balance of the license term. FISCAL NOTE There is no fiscal impact to state or local funds as a result of this legislation. Contacts Name: Rep.
