STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27291 / H0332
The Idaho Transportation Department continues to develop and provide alternative methods for the issuance
and renewal of driver licenses and identification cards, and is aligning code for the distribution of fees to remain
with the issuing entities providing the services.
ITD has partnered with Idaho Department of Corrections to issue identification cards to those incarcerated who
will soon be released, to assist them with integration into society, by providing them with an Idaho identification
card. This legislation will enable IDOC to retain the $5 administrative portion of the identification card fee,
when they are issuing the card. The department has also implemented a DMV Portal that provides citizens with
the ability to renew their Idaho driver license or identification card, or to replace either, online. This provides an
alternative service method and will reduce lines and alleviate pressure in county driver license offices, to enable
counties to provide customers with more focused service for customers who must go to the county offices.
The department intends to develop other more convenient methods for customers to receive services provided
by DMV, including the renewal and replacement of dealer and salesman identification cards. This proposal
allows the fees to be retained by the entity providing the services.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact related to this proposal. This proposal simply distributes the funds that are already
being collected to the entity that is providing the service.
