30-1611. JURISDICTION. (1) If the jurisdiction under the laws of which the issuing public corporation is organized has adopted or adopts any law comparable to this chapter which imposes limitations on the voting rights of any person in the event that the person acquires or proposes to acquire shares of the issuing public corporation which exceed or meet any level or range of ownership or voting powers specified in such law, and that law contains provisions which are expressly inconsistent with, or cannot practically be applied in a manner consistent with, the provisions of this chapter as applicable to the issuing public corporation, the provisions of this chapter shall be inapplicable to the issuing public corporation to the extent necessary to resolve such inconsistency.
(2) If any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction under the laws of which the issuing public corporation is organized has adopted or adopts any law comparable to the provisions of this chapter which imposes limitations on the voting rights of any person in the event that the person acquires or proposes to acquire shares of the issuing public corporation which exceed or meet any level or range of ownership specified in such law and that law contains provisions which are expressly inconsistent with, or cannot practically be applied in a manner consistent with, the provisions of this chapter as applicable to the issuing public corporation, the provisions of this chapter shall be inapplicable to the issuing public corporation to the extent that (i) a greater percentage of shareholders of the issuing public corporation reside in that jurisdiction than in this state, computed in accordance with provisions of section 30-1601(12), Idaho Code, and then, only to the extent necessary to resolve such inconsistency or (ii) the director of the department of finance determines within three (3) business days from the date on which this chapter’s provisions are first applicable to a particular control share acquisition that the other jurisdiction’s law adequately provides for the protection of Idaho shareholders.
