 13    plate programs has been overused and has become  unnecessarily  burdensome  in
 14    its  implementation.  Development  and  maintenance  of  special motor vehicle
 15    license plate programs is straining the limited resources of the Idaho  trans-
 16    portation department and its county assessor agents.

 18    session  of  the fifty-eighth Idaho legislature meeting in 2005, authorization
 19    of  any special motor vehicle license plate program is hereby prohibited. Pro-
 20    grams in existence as of January 1, 2005, or which begin issuance of plates on
 21    January 1, 2005, shall continue as originally authorized, unless certain  pro-
 22    grams  are discontinued by operation of law pursuant to section 49-402C, Idaho
 23    Code, or unless repealed by the legislature.
