This bill amends various sections of the Idaho Code related to motor vehicle license plates, specifically addressing registration fees and the introduction of new special license plates. It modifies Section 49-402 to establish new fees for special license plates, including an initial program fee of $70 and an annual fee of $50 for the newly created Idaho World Famous Potatoes black and white license plates, as well as a new section for Idaho World Famous Potatoes white and teal license plates with a fee of $2.75 per plate. Additionally, it clarifies that registration periods will expire at midnight on the last day of the designated period and makes technical corrections to existing language.

The bill also outlines exemptions from special license plate procedures in Section 49-402D and introduces new sections 49-417E and 49-417F, which detail the design and fee structure for the Idaho World Famous Potatoes license plates. The funds collected from these special plates will support the Idaho potato commission and the state highway account. The act declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
