Chapter 4 - UNFAIR SALES ACT
Section 48-402 - DECLARATION OF POLICY AND PURPOSE.

Universal Citation: ID Code § 48-402 (2017)

48-402. Declaration of policy and purpose. The practice of selling certain items of merchandise below cost in order to attract patronage is a deceptive form of advertising and an unfair method of competition. Such practice misleads the consumer, works back against the farmer, obstructs commerce and diverts business from dealers who maintain a fair price policy, with the result of unemployment, underpayment of employees, excessive working hours, nonpayment of taxes and an inevitable train of undesirable consequences including economic depression. This act is designed to make illegal such practice and to promote the general welfare of the state of Idaho.

History:
