This bill amends existing Idaho Code regarding agriculture license plates by revising the provisions related to their color and design. Specifically, it removes the requirement for agriculture plates to conform to standardized color and design regulations, allowing for a unique design that is acceptable to the Idaho ag in the classroom board of directors. The bill also updates the language to clarify that any person owning a vehicle registered under specific sections may apply for these plates, and it establishes a fee structure for the issuance and renewal of the plates, with funds allocated to both the state highway account and the Idaho ag in the classroom program.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the transfer of special plates when ownership of the vehicle changes, and it allows for the purchase of sample plates. It declares an emergency, stating that the act will take effect on July 1, 2026. Overall, the changes aim to enhance the visibility and support for Idaho's agricultural community through a more distinctive and flexible license plate program.
