7 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

10 49-411. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER PLATE -- FEES. (1) Any person conducting

12 licensed as a manufacturer of or a dealer in vehicles, and owning and operat-
13 ing any such vehicle upon any highway may, in lieu of registering each vehicle
14 obtain from the department upon application on the proper form and payment of
15 the required fee, and attach to each vehicle, one (1) number plate as required
16 for different classes of vehicles in section 49-434, Idaho Code. The special
17 number plate shall bear a distinctive number assigned to the manufacturer or
18 dealer, the name of this state, which may be abbreviated, and the year for
19 which the plate is issued, together with words which may be abbreviated or a
20 distinguishing symbol indicating that the plate is issued to a manufacturer or
21 dealer.
22 (a) Dealer license plates shall be limited to two (2) license plates for
23 up to twenty (20) vehicles sold during the previous dealer licensing

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 12667
The purpose of this legislation is to limit the number of
dealer plates that a dealer may request to two (2) dealer plates
for the first twenty (20) vehicles sold during the previous
dealer licensing period and one (1) additional dealer plate for
each ten (10) additional vehicles sold during the previous dealer
licensing period. This change will reduce the problem of
unauthorized use of dealer plates across the state. Many dealers
purchase dealer plates that are well above any legal usage of the
plates that the dealer might have. This legislation will also
reduce the illegal usage of dealer plates by salesmen working
under a dealer's license, keeping his own books and acting as a
licensed dealer. This legislation will also keep dealers from
using plates on vehicles that are being used by other
unauthorized persons known to the dealer.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
