20 issued under the provisions of this section are not transferable.

RS 14759
The purpose of this legislation is to allow motor racing
facilities the same opportunity to apply for a liquor license as
is extended to race tracks and golf courses under section 23-953.
FISCAL NOTE
The fiscal impact to the state is a positive cash level. Based on
licenses that have to be obtained and taxed from liquor sales.
The additional revenue to the State of Idaho could be as much as
$50,000. This would be derived from licenses and taxes on the
liquor sales.
