Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 795-7-3-.01 - Establishment Of Vending Facilities

(1) The establishment or expansion of all BEP vending facilities will be contingent upon the completion of a survey to determine if the potential gross sales to be derived are sufficient to justify SLA expenditures related to facility development or improvement. This survey will be based on available information and shall not provide a guarantee of any particular income estimate. However, projected net income should be no less than the monetary amount designated by the Social Security Administration's definition of Substantial Gainful Activity. A vending facility may comprise one or more physical locations and may be assigned to one facility number.

(2) When considering the establishment or expansion of any vending facility, the SLA, at its option, can execute a lease and/or other rental agreements that may include a charge to be paid by the prospective vendor. In such cases, it shall be the responsibility of the vendor to pay the rent and/or other assessments. If a utility or other operating expense is levied against a vending facility, it shall be the responsibility of the vendor to pay any such charges directly to the grantor.

(3) The SLA shall assign each established facility to one of seven classifications prior to announcing the facility's availability as set forth in 795-7-3-.04.
