S 1002 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

TRANSPORTATION – Amends existing law to provide for a reduced fee for a four-year class D driver’s license for drivers age 63 and older.

S 1002 reduces the fee for a four-year Class D driver's license for Idaho residents aged 63 and older. The bill amends Idaho Code § 49-306 to lower the fee from $35.00 to $30.00 for this specific license type and age group. This change directly affects seniors 63+ who renew their standard non-commercial driver's licenses, providing a $5.00 annual savings on their license fee. The bill passed the Idaho Senate unanimously on March 6, 2025, and is now moving to the House.
