VOTERS – Amends existing law to provide for automatic voter registration through the Division of Motor Vehicles.

Maddy summaryH 69, the "Motor Voter Act," automatically registers eligible Idaho voters when they apply for, renew, or correct a driver's license or state ID at a DMV office. Residents who qualify to vote (citizens aged 18+, residents of Idaho) are registered unless they opt out during the process. The DMV forwards completed registration forms weekly to county election offices, and voters can select a political party affiliation or choose "unaffiliated" on the form. This changes how voter registration is initiated, moving it from separate forms to routine DMV interactions while preserving the option to decline registration.

PLASTIC BAGS – Repeals existing law preempting local regulation of auxiliary containers, including plastic bags.

Maddy summaryH 70 repeals Idaho Code §67-2340, which currently prevents local governments from regulating plastic bags and other auxiliary containers. This bill directly affects cities and counties in Idaho by removing the state's legal barrier to local ordinances restricting plastic bags. The key provision is the repeal of the preemption law, allowing municipalities to independently adopt rules on plastic bag use. The bill does not create new regulations but enables local decision-making on this issue. (This is a procedural bill, so the summary is concise.)
