STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 09468
This legislation will expand the definitions of "temporary supplemental
lot" to include language which will allow licensed Idaho Franchised
Dealers to operate "temporary supplemental lots "anywhere in the state
allowed by their franchise agreement. Non-franchised dealers would be
limited to operate "temporary supplemental lots' within 175 miles of
their principle place of business. The purpose is to solve problems in
law that does not allow Idaho Businesses to display products at events
such as state fairs and trade shows.
FISCAL NOTE
This has no direct effect on State General Funds or other State Budgets.
Indirectly has the potential to increase tax revenues through enhanced
business activity.
