MOTOR VEHICLES – Amends and adds to existing law to establish a World Famous Idaho Potatoes black license plate and a World Famous Idaho Potatoes white license plate.
H 204 adds two new specialty license plate designs for Idaho drivers: a black plate and a white plate featuring the "World Famous Idaho Potatoes" branding. Drivers who choose these plates will pay a $70 initial fee and a $50 annual fee, with revenue funding administration costs. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, and affects only those Idaho vehicle owners who specifically request these commemorative plates.
