TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS – Amends and adds to existing law to provide for suspension of driver’s licenses when a person is 30 days or more delinquent in paying the penalty for a moving traffic infraction.

Idaho's H 791 creates a new rule requiring driver's license suspensions for individuals delinquent 30+ days on unpaid moving traffic fines (e.g., speeding, reckless driving), effective January 1, 2027. The bill mandates courts to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) when a driver fails to pay such fines, triggering automatic license suspension without a DMV hearing. Drivers must pay the outstanding fine to the court and pay a $25 reinstatement fee to the DMV to regain driving privileges, with exceptions for established payment plans for those unable to pay and medical emergencies. This affects drivers with overdue moving violation fines (excluding parking or pedestrian citations), altering prior policy that prohibited license suspensions solely for unpaid fines.
