STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 15391C2
This legislation will amend Section 49-418D, Idaho Code, to allow
a graphic design to be placed on the veteran's motorcycle license
plate. The existing code limits the plate's design to Idaho's
standard red, white, and blue plate, with the words "Scenic
Idaho" at the top and "Veteran" at the bottom.
This amendment will allow a graphic design to be placed on the
plate in order to come to a resolution with all interested
parties. This plate was originally to be available for purchase
on January 1, 2005, but due to the lack of reaching agreement on
the plate design, it is necessary to amend this code in order to
produce the veteran's motorcycle license plate.
An emergency therefore exists and final plate design has reached
consensus, this legislation will allow a retroactive effective
date of January 1, 2006, to fulfill plate orders pending for the
past year.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation does not require additional budget funding for
the department, as the license plate fees will be continuously
appropriated to the plate manufacturing account.
