General WSIADA Legislative Policies

  • WSIADA supports legislative changes that improve and enhance the dealer licensing process and promote honesty and fair dealing while protecting Washington dealers from unfair competition from unlicensed individuals.
  • WSIADA opposes unnecessary regulation that creates paperwork and manpower burdens on law-abiding dealers without providing corresponding benefits to the industry and the public.
  • WSIADA supports measures that enhance government efficiency and maximize benefits to Washington’s citizens and the industry at the lowest cost.
  • WSIADA supports measures that increase enforcement efforts against those who operate in the industry illegally, unlicensed, and who defraud dealers and the public.
  • WSIADA supports measures that increase enforcement of current laws.
  • WSIADA opposes any measure that would impede the ability of a dealer to operate a lawful business while providing affordable and reliable transportation to hard working people in Washington who otherwise may not be able to obtain transportation to go back and forth to work.
  • WSIADA supports any measure that encourages the American system of free enterprise.
