The bill amends Section 49-306 of the Idaho Code to introduce a voluntary donation option for individuals applying for or renewing their driver's licenses. Specifically, applicants may contribute $2.00 to support two initiatives: one for promoting organ donation, which will be directed to the organ donation contribution fund, and another for promoting vision screening, treatment, and eye health, which will be allocated to an Idaho nonprofit organization called Envision Sight. The bill outlines that contributions for vision health will be transferred to Envision Sight monthly, minus administrative costs, and mandates that the organization submit an annual report to the legislature detailing the funds received and their usage.
Additionally, the bill includes a technical correction and declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025. The changes also clarify the process for applicants regarding the provision of personal information, including social security numbers and proof of identity, ensuring compliance with federal regulations. Overall, the bill aims to enhance public health initiatives while streamlining the driver's license application process in Idaho.
