This bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to motor vehicles, primarily focusing on residency requirements for obtaining a driver's license, vehicle registration, and title acquisition. It establishes that individuals who become residents of Idaho 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 anyone who establishes 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. It also includes amendments to definitions related to motor vehicles, such as clarifying the term "resident" and updating the process for vehicle registration and title acquisition. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2026.
