Sponsor seeks repeal of century‑old county itinerant‑vendor licensing law
Summary
Representative Julie Darling said House Bill 561 repeals a 1925 law requiring counties to license itinerant (door‑to‑door) vendors, arguing federal consumer protections and local ordinances already provide safeguards.
Representative Julie Darling opened House Bill 561 by describing the bill as a clean‑up of a 1925 statute that requires counties to license itinerant vendors who sell door‑to‑door. Darling told the committee the law is largely obsolete, that federal law provides consumer cancellation protections for doorstep sales over $25, and that counties and cities retain the ability to regulate vendors via ordinances. No proponents or opponents appeared in the hearing record for this bill, and Representative Darling closed by asking the committee for a green vote.
