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 fee of $2.75 for the Idaho World Famous Potatoes white and teal license plates. Additionally, it clarifies that registration periods will expire at midnight on the last day of the designated year and makes technical corrections to existing language.

The bill also introduces new sections, 49-417E and 49-417F, which outline the specifications and requirements for the Idaho World Famous Potatoes black and white and white and teal license plates, respectively. These plates will be available for vehicles registered under the provisions of Section 49-402, with certain restrictions on vehicle weight. The funds collected from the special plate fees will be allocated to the state highway account and the Idaho Potato Commission for specific purposes. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes provisions for transferring the special plates to other vehicles.
