This bill amends Section 49-306 of the Idaho Code to introduce a new fee structure for Class D driver's licenses, specifically establishing a four-year Class D license fee of $35 for individuals aged 21 to 62 years, while also creating a separate fee of $30 for those aged 63 years and older. The bill outlines the distribution of these fees, with portions allocated to various funds, including the current expense fund, emergency medical services funds, driver training fund, and highway distribution account. Additionally, the bill includes several other fee adjustments and clarifications regarding the application process for driver's licenses and permits.

The legislation also declares an emergency, stating that the changes will take effect on July 1, 2025. This urgency suggests that the adjustments to the fee structure and the associated administrative processes are intended to be implemented promptly to address current needs within the state's motor vehicle licensing system. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the licensing process while ensuring that the fees collected support essential services related to driver safety and training.
