                        MONOPOLIES AND TRADE PRACTICES

                       IDAHO PAY-PER-TELEPHONE CALL ACT
    48-1101.  LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT. (1) The use of
pay-per-telephone call services for commercial solicitation is rapidly
increasing. This form of communication offers unique benefits, but also
entails special risks and the potential for abuse. Many consumers of goods and
services have suffered serious losses because of misrepresentations and
failures to disclose material facts. For the general welfare of the public and
in order to protect the integrity of the pay-per-telephone call service
industry, the following provisions of law are deemed necessary.
    (2)  It is the intent of the legislature in enacting this chapter to
safeguard the public against deceit and financial hardship, to insure, foster
and encourage competition and fair dealings among information providers by
requiring adequate disclosure. The provisions of this chapter are remedial,
and shall be construed and applied liberally to accomplish these purposes.
    (3)  This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Idaho
Pay-Per-Telephone Call Act."
