This bill amends various sections of the Idaho Code related to vehicle registration and special license plates. It updates Section 49-402 to include a code reference and establishes exemptions from special license plate procedures in Section 49-402D. Notably, it introduces a new section, 49-420T, which allows for the issuance of "Too Great for Hate" license plates starting January 1, 2026. These special plates can be obtained by vehicle owners for an initial fee of $35 and an annual renewal fee of $25, with portions of the fees allocated to the state highway account and the human rights commission program fund.

Additionally, the bill outlines the purpose of the "Too Great for Hate" license plates, which is to promote anti-discrimination efforts in Idaho. The funds generated from these plates will support educational programs and initiatives aimed at fostering public understanding of anti-discrimination laws. The bill also includes provisions for transferring the special plates to another vehicle and specifies that the design of the plates must be approved by the Idaho commission on human rights and the Idaho transportation department. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective on July 1, 2025.
