AI Summary

This bill amends existing Idaho law to create a voluntary $2 donation option on driver's license applications for vision health, specifically to support Envision Sight, an Idaho nonprofit organization. When obtaining or renewing a driver's license, individuals can now choose to contribute $2 to support vision screening, vision treatment, and eye health in Idaho. The bill requires Envision Sight to submit an annual report to the legislature by January 15 detailing how the funds were collected and spent, with the organization permitted to deduct actual administrative costs associated with collecting and transferring the contributions. The bill also modifies the existing Organ Donation Contribution Fund to include provisions for distributing these new vision health contributions, specifying that the funds should be transferred to Envision Sight at least monthly and used exclusively for vision health purposes. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, and are intended to provide an additional voluntary funding mechanism for supporting vision health initiatives in Idaho.
