H 21 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

MOTOR VEHICLES – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding temporary license plates and certain exempt vehicle license plates.

This Idaho bill (H 21) revises two key vehicle registration provisions. It extends the validity of license plates for state vehicles and taxing district vehicles from annual to 10 years, requiring new designators (e.g., "ISP" for Idaho State Police) to identify agencies. For temporary permits, it adjusts fees (e.g., $50 for 120-hour weight permits) and limits permits to three per vehicle annually, with specific exemptions for transporters. Vehicles not displaying required designators after July 1, 2025, must pay a $12.50 fee to reregister within 60 days. The changes directly affect state agencies, taxing districts, and commercial vehicle operators needing temporary registration.
