AI Summary
This bill amends Idaho motor vehicle registration law to establish two new specialty license plates celebrating Idaho's potato industry: a black and white "Idaho World Famous Potatoes" plate and a white and teal "Idaho World Famous Potatoes" plate. The black and white plate will be available starting July 1, 2025, and requires an initial fee of $70 and an annual renewal fee of $50, with portions of the fees going to the state highway account and the Idaho Potato Commission. The white and teal plate will have a lower fee structure of $2.75 per plate, deposited into the plate manufacturing account, with no special program fees. Both plates will be available for vehicles under 26,000 pounds gross weight and can be transferred between vehicles. The bill also makes technical corrections to existing motor vehicle registration laws, including adjusting special license plate program fees and clarifying administrative procedures. The plates are designed to promote Idaho's potato industry and provide an additional funding mechanism for the Idaho Potato Commission's promotional efforts.
