This bill amends Section 49-306 of the Idaho Code, specifically addressing the fees associated with obtaining a Class D driver's license. The new legislation introduces a four-year Class D driver's license fee of $35.00 for individuals aged 21 to 62 years, while those aged 63 years and older will pay a reduced fee of $30.00. The bill also outlines the distribution of these fees to various funds, including the current expense fund, emergency medical services funds, driver training fund, and highway distribution account. Additionally, it establishes a fee structure for other types of licenses and permits, including instruction permits, duplicate licenses, and skills tests.

The bill includes several insertions and deletions to update the language and fee structure. Notably, it replaces the previous age limit for the Class D (4-year) license, which was for individuals "older," with a specific age range of "21 to 62 years." Furthermore, it introduces new fees for various permits and tests, such as a $20.00 fee for a Class D instruction permit and a $60.00 fee for a restricted driving permit. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
