HOUSE BILL NO. 430
BY AGRICULTURAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO THE PURE SEED LAW; AMENDING SECTION 22-434, IDAHO CODE, TO CLARIFY
3 THAT LICENSES ARE REQUIRED FOR SEED DEALERS WHO CONDITION OR LABEL OR SELL
4 SEED AND TO PROVIDE THAT ANY PERSON SELLING SEED WHO HAS TOTAL ANNUAL
5 GROSS SEED SALES NOT EXCEEDING FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS IS EXEMPT; AND PROVID-
6 ING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
7 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
8 SECTION 1. That Section 22-434, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
9 amended to read as follows:
10 22-434. SEED DEALER'S LICENSE. An in-state seed dealer or an out-of-state
11 seed dealer who conditions, or labels and or sells, for the use of others any
12 seed, shall obtain a license from the department authorizing him to condition,
13 or label and or sell such seed. A dealer shall not be entitled to a license
14 unless he has an established plant, warehouse or place of business.
15 A separate license shall be required for each place of business from which
16 seed regulated under this chapter is sold. Application for licenses shall be
17 on a form provided by the director. Applications shall be renewed no later
18 than July 1 of each year.
19 Fees so collected shall be paid into the state treasury and credited to
20 the state agricultural inspection account.
21 In-state producers selling their own crop shall be exempt from this sec-
22 tion. Any person selling seed who has total annual gross seed sales not
23 exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) is exempt from this section.
24 The department may suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue or renew the
25 license of any person when it is satisfied that:
26 (1) The applicant or licensee has been guilty of fraud, deception, or
27 misrepresentation in the procurement of a license; and/or
28 (2) The licensee was guilty of violating any of the provisions of this
29 chapter.
30 SECTION 2. This act shall be in full force and effect on and after July
31 1, 2000.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS09376
Amend Title 22, Chapter 4, Section 22-434, Idaho Code, to clarify
the intent of the law that licenses are required for seed dealers
who condition or label or sell seeds. The current law does not
clearly state that a license is required for a dealer who engages
in any one of the three activities; namely, conditions, or labels,
or sells seed. Amend Title 22, Chapter 4, Section 22-434, Idaho
Code, to exempt persons with total annual gross seed sales not
exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) from the seed dealers
license requirement.
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact to Dedicated Fund revenues is an estimated loss of
$4,000 in seed dealers license fees for FY 2001.
