The bill establishes regulations for custom vehicle license plates and modifies existing provisions regarding the display of such plates in Idaho.

  • Chapter 4, Title 49, Idaho Code

    49-408A. CUSTOM VEHICLE LICENSE PLATES. (1) Any motor vehicle that is a replica vehicle pursuant to section 49-123(2)(n), Idaho Code, and is designed and manufactured to resemble a vehicle or motorcycle that would qualify for Idaho classic license plates pursuant to section 49-406A, Idaho Code, may be registered as a custom vehicle under the provisions of this section. The provisions of this section do not apply to any vehicle with a registered maximum gross weight over twenty-six thousand (26,000) pounds.

    This addition creates a new section that defines and establishes rules for custom vehicle license plates in Idaho.

  • Chapter 4, Title 49, Idaho Code

    The registration certificate need not specify the weight of the custom vehicle. The license plate issued shall bear no date but shall bear the inscription "Custom Vehicle," "Idaho," and the registration number issued for the custom vehicle, and the license plate shall be valid upon annual renewal under section 49-402 or 49-434(1), Idaho Code, as long as the vehicle is in existence. The license plate will be issued for the applicant's use only for the particular vehicle, and, in the event of a transfer of title, the transferor may hold the license plate and transfer it to another qualifying custom vehicle.

    This specifies the characteristics of the custom vehicle license plate and the rules regarding its issuance and transferability.

  • 49-428, Idaho Code

    Vehicles displaying year of manufacture, old timer, classic car, or street rod → Vehicles displaying year of manufacture, old timer, classic car, street rod, or custom vehicle license plates

    This update clarifies that vehicles with custom vehicle license plates are included in the provision allowing the display of one plate on the rear only.
