PARKS AND RECREATION – Amends and adds to existing law to increase fees for the Idaho state parks and trails passport program, to allocate moneys into certain funds, and to create a nonmotorized recreation fund.

This bill (H 57) amends Idaho's vehicle registration fees (Section 49-402, Idaho Code) and creates a new nonmotorized recreation fund. It increases annual registration fees for most vehicles (e.g., $69 for 1-2 year vehicles, $45 for 7+ year vehicles) and adds $15 annual fees for special license plate programs. The bill establishes a "nonmotorized recreation fund" (via new Section 67-7134) to allocate moneys from these fees for nonmotorized recreation uses like trails and parks. It directly affects vehicle owners paying registration fees and special license plate program participants.
