The bill seeks to modernize Idaho's transportation laws by repealing several outdated sections of the Idaho Code, including those related to penalties, traffic regulations for livestock, and specific special license plates such as the Idaho Corvette Plates and the Idaho Friends of the National Rifle Association Plates. It repeals Sections 21-121, 40-1207, 40-2314, 49-420E, 49-420L, 49-420N, 49-420O, and 49-420P. Additionally, the bill amends Sections 49-402, 49-406, and 49-406A to eliminate outdated language and make necessary technical corrections, ensuring the laws remain relevant and effective for Idaho citizens.

Moreover, the bill introduces new regulations for the "Idaho Classic" license plates, specifying their intended use for exhibits, parades, tours, and club activities, while prohibiting their use for business or commercial purposes. It establishes a $25 initial program fee for applicants, with funds directed to the state highway account and the plate manufacturing account. The bill also removes the previous requirement for a three-year ownership verification process, allowing the retention of special plates upon vehicle transfer if the new vehicle qualifies and the transfer fee is paid. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
