STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS09528
This legislation will amend Sections 49-306, 49-319, 49-2444,
Idaho Code, as previously amended by Senate Bill 1169, 1999,
which will be effective January 1, 2001. SBI169, 1999, created
a distinct driver's license and identification card for youths
15-18 and young adults 18-21. The purpose of the distinct
driver's license and identification card is to assist retailers
inidentifying age for those purchasing tobacco or alcoholic
beverages. This legislation will further amend the previously
referenced code in the following ways and will also become
effective January 1, 2001:
Driver's license or identification cards issued to applicants
under 21 years will expire five (5) days after their birthday.
It allows for a one- (1) year driver's license when an applicant
is getting a license at age 17 or 20 which will expire on
either the 18th or 21't birthday. It provides for a one-year
commercial driver's license for an applicant aged 20 years.
It also provides for the distribution of fees collected.
FISCAL IMPACT
SB 1169, 1999, as approved, was determined to have a fiscal
impact on the Idaho Transportation Department of $13,000
for one-time contractor costs to modify an automated computer
system. No additional cost to the department will be
required with the proposed amendments.
