MOTOR VEHICLES – Amends and adds to existing law to establish a white and black license plate.
S 1325 establishes a new special license plate option in Idaho featuring white and black design. It creates a specific fee structure: a $70 initial fee and $50 annual fee for owners who choose this plate, with funds going to the state highway account to cover administration costs. This bill directly affects vehicle owners who select this special plate design, adding it as an optional choice alongside existing special plates. The legislation amends Idaho Code to include this new plate program under section 49-417G.
