This bill amends Sections 49-432 and 49-443B of the Idaho Code, focusing on temporary vehicle registration permits and license plates for state vehicles and taxing districts. The amendments to Section 49-432 introduce new provisions regarding the issuance of temporary registration permits, including a fee schedule for various types of permits, such as a 120-hour permit and a 30-day unladen weight permit. Additionally, it specifies that permits must be purchased before the vehicle is moved on public highways and clarifies that these permits are only available for vehicles that are currently registered in Idaho. The bill also limits the number of permits issued per vehicle in a calendar year, with exceptions for certain types of vehicles.

In Section 49-443B, the bill revises the rules regarding license plates for state vehicles and those belonging to taxing districts, establishing that these plates will be valid for ten years and must remain on the vehicle until transferred or canceled. The amendments remove the requirement for certain vehicles to be reregistered within a specified timeframe if they do not comply with the new designator provisions. The designators will identify the agency or entity to which the vehicle belongs, and personalized or specialty plates are exempt from these requirements. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
