WEIGHMASTERS -- Amends and repeals existing law to remove licensing provisions, to provide for compliance with specified law by weighmasters, and to revise provisions regarding weight and tare tickets.

WEIGHMASTERS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Consistent with the Governor's Licensing Freedom Act, the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) reviewedtheweighmasterlicenseanddeterminedthislicenseisnottheleastrestrictiveandeffectiveregulatory framework capable of adequately protecting the public. The ISDA proposes repeal because the license does not meet Licensing Freedom Act thresholds for continuation as a regulatory requirement: • Removing the regulation would not substantially harm the safety or welfare of the public. • The public can be protected by less restrictive means. • The benefits of regulation do not outweigh the cost to consumers. • The license is not the least restrictive effective regulatory framework capable of adequately protecting the public. This bill proposes repealing the weighmaster licensing requirement while preserving weigh ticket standards. Licensure repeal would remove a regulatory burden for 700-900 businesses in Idaho annually.
