This bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to motor vehicles, specifically addressing the requirements for residents regarding driver's licenses, vehicle registration, and obtaining certificates of title. Notably, it establishes that individuals who become Idaho residents must apply for an Idaho driver's license, register their vehicles, and obtain a certificate of title within thirty days of establishing residency. The definition of "resident" is revised to clarify that it refers to individuals who establish domicile in Idaho, excluding full-time students from other states.

Additionally, the bill introduces penalties for failing to comply with these new requirements, categorizing such failures as infractions. The amendments also include changes to the definitions of various terms related to motor vehicles, such as "registration" and "resident." The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025, to ensure timely implementation of these changes.
