Bill > H0665

This bill amends existing Idaho law regarding Appaloosa license plates, primarily by increasing the maximum gross weight limit for vehicles eligible for these special plates from 16,000 pounds to 26,000 pounds. It also clarifies that a portion of the fees collected for these plates will now be transferred to the "Appaloosa museum and heritage center foundation" instead of the "Appaloosa horse club," and the funds will be used for "education and programming related to horses" rather than specifically "youth horse programs." Additionally, the bill makes minor wording changes for clarity and specifies that the design featuring an Appaloosa must be acceptable to the Appaloosa museum and heritage center foundation. The bill also declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2026.
