Bill > H0023

This bill amends Idaho driver's license regulations to make several key changes. It eliminates the requirement for renewal of instructional permits, extending the validity period for both commercial learner's permits and class D instruction permits to one year instead of the previous 180-day limit. The bill removes the previous provision that allowed one-time renewal of instruction permits without retaking knowledge tests. For motorcycle endorsement instruction permits, the validity period is also extended to one year. Additionally, the bill modifies requirements for people surrendering an out-of-state driver's license, specifically removing the requirement to take a knowledge test if they have previously held an Idaho driver's license. The bill also makes some technical changes to language, replacing terms like "temporary" with "conditional" in certain contexts and adjusting various administrative details related to driver's license classifications, fees, and renewal processes. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and are intended to simplify and streamline driver's license procedures in Idaho.
