TRANSPORTATION – Amends and adds to existing law to provide for the elimination of vehicle registration stickers.
H 533 eliminates the requirement for vehicle registration stickers in Idaho. The bill amends multiple sections of Idaho Code (including 49-402, 49-402A, and 49-411) to remove all references to physical stickers, validation stickers, and rental car stickers from vehicle registration laws. This change directly affects all Idaho vehicle owners who previously needed to display or replace registration stickers. The key mechanism is removing sticker-related provisions from the code, including the $2.00 fee for replacement stickers listed in Section 49-202(l). The bill does not change other registration processes or fees, such as those for titles or license plates.
