Bill > H0403

This bill amends Idaho state law to require new residents to complete several motor vehicle-related tasks within 30 days of establishing residency. Specifically, the bill mandates that new Idaho residents must apply for an Idaho driver's license, register their vehicles, and obtain a certificate of vehicle title within 30 days of becoming a resident. The bill defines a "resident" as someone who establishes domicile in Idaho, excluding full-time students who are residents of another state. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in infractions or penalties, such as fines for not applying for an Idaho driver's license. The changes aim to ensure that new residents quickly integrate into the state's motor vehicle registration and licensing system, and to standardize the process of transitioning vehicle and driving documentation when moving to Idaho. The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2025, giving residents and state agencies time to prepare for the new requirements.
