TRANSPORTATION – Amends existing law to require a person to apply for a driver’s license, register vehicles, and obtain a certificate of vehicle title within thirty days of becoming an Idaho resident.
H 403 requires new Idaho residents to obtain an Idaho driver's license, register their vehicles, and get a vehicle title within 30 days of establishing residency. This applies specifically to individuals whose domicile becomes Idaho for at least 30 consecutive days, excluding full-time out-of-state students. The bill amends Idaho Code sections 49-301 (driver's license), 49-401A (vehicle registration), and 49-502 (vehicle title) to enforce these 30-day deadlines. Failure to comply within this timeframe constitutes an infraction. The law directly affects all new Idaho residents moving to the state for permanent residence.
