This bill amends Section 49-402 of the Idaho Code to include a reference to a new section and establishes a new commemorative license plate for the USS Idaho SSN 799. The new Section 49-420T allows vehicle owners to apply for these special plates starting January 1, 2026, with specific fees of $35 for initial issuance and $25 for annual renewal. The bill specifies that these plates are not available for vehicles with a registered maximum gross weight over 26,000 pounds and outlines the design and approval process for the plates, which will feature the text "USS IDAHO" and an image of the submarine.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision for transferring the special plates to another vehicle upon payment of transfer fees. The design of the plates must be approved by the USS Idaho commissioning committee and will be exempt from certain requirements outlined in section 49-402D. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
