40 drive a vehicle except when necessary for safe operation or in compliance with
41 law, and that limit shall be effective when posted upon appropriate fixed or
42 variable signs, except in cases where the duly elected officials of an incor-
43 porated city have established speed limits lower than those set by the depart-

2 ment of these stop signs shall be mandatory except when in the determination
3 of public highway agencies the existence of stop signs at a given crossing

5 engineering study.
6 Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as granting immunity to any
7 railroad company as to liability, if any, for an accident which might occur at
8 a crossing where stop signs are erected and in place, but liability, if any,
9 shall be determined as provided by law. Liability on the part of governmental
10 authorities on account of absence of any stop sign at a crossing shall be
11 determined as provided by law.

13 those portions of any highway under their respective jurisdictions where over-
14 taking and passing or driving on the left side of the roadway would be espe-
15 cially hazardous and may by appropriate signs or markings on the roadway indi-
16 cate the beginning and end of those zones and when signs or markings are in
17 place and clearly visible to an ordinarily observant person, every driver of a
18 vehicle shall obey those directions.
19 (27) The department and local authorities in their respective jurisdic-
20 tions may in their discretion issue special permits authorizing the operation

23 tors or other farm machinery, the operation of which upon a highway would
24 otherwise be prohibited under this title or title 40, Idaho Code.
25 (28) The department and local highway authorities within their respective
26 jurisdictions may place official traffic-control devices prohibiting, limiting
27 or restricting the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles on any highway
28 where such stopping, standing or parking is dangerous to those using the high-
29 way or where the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles unduly interferes
30 with the free movement of traffic thereon.
31 (29) On any informational material printed after July 1, 1995, by or at
32 the order of the department and distributed to counties, school districts or

36 satisfied as to the ownership of the vehicle or that there are no undisclosed
37 security interests in it, the department may register the vehicle, but shall
38 either:
39 (a) Withhold issuance of a certificate of ownership until the applicant
40 presents documents reasonably sufficient to satisfy the department as to
41 the applicant's ownership of the vehicle and that there are no undisclosed
42 security interests in it; or
43 (b) As a condition of issuing a certificate of ownership, require the
44 applicant to file with the department all documents held as to the
45 applicant's ownership of the vehicle, together with a bond in the form
46 prescribed by the department and executed by the applicant, or a deposit
47 of cash in a like amount. The bond shall be in an amount equal to one and
48 one-half (1 1/2) times the value of the vehicle, as determined by the
49 department, and conditioned to indemnify any prior owner and secured party
50 and any subsequent purchaser of the vehicle or person acquiring any secu-
51 rity interest in it, and their respective successors in interest, against
52 any expense, loss or damage, including reasonable attorney's fees, by
53 reason of the issuance of the certificate of ownership of the vehicle, or
11

2 title and interest of the applicant in and to the vehicle. Any such inter-
3 ested person has a right of action to recover on the bond for any breach
4 of its conditions, but the aggregate liability of the surety to all per-
5 sons shall not exceed the amount of the bond. The bond, or any cash
6 deposit, shall be returned at the end of three (3) years, or prior to that
7 time if the vehicle is no longer registered in this state and the current
8 valid certificate of ownership is surrendered to the department, unless
9 the department has been notified of the pendency of an action to recover
10 on the bond.

12 applicant who is a resident of the state of Idaho may file with the
13 department, before its authorized representative, a verified statement of
14 facts setting out in detail the manner in which the applicant came into
15 possession of the vehicle, the establishment of ownership, and a summary
16 of the applicant's attempts to contact any prior owners of the vehicle.

18 tation relating to the applicant's possession of the vehicle, and comple-
19 tion of an inspection of the vehicle identification number by an autho-
20 rized representative of the department, the applicant shall execute a doc-
21 ument in the form provided by the department releasing it of any and all
22 damages that may be suffered by the applicant, along with warranties that
23 the applicant will pay any and all damages suffered by any person or
24 entity as to the issuance of a title for that vehicle by the department.
25 The department shall then issue a certificate of title to the applicant in
26 form set out by this section. The certificate of title shall include the
27 statement, "ISSUED ON STATEMENT OF APPLICANT,", in permanent letters upon
28 its face. The title issued pursuant to this subsection shall be presumed
29 to indicate legal ownership of the vehicle at the end of the three (3)
30 year period from the date of issue of that title, provided the vehicle is
31 still registered in the state of Idaho, and there are no actions or claims
32 pending against the applicant which places legal ownership in question.
33 The department and the state of Idaho shall be immune as to any damages
34 suffered by any person or entity as a result of the issuance of a certifi-
35 cate of title as provided by this subsection.

39 mits, consecutively numbered by the department, secured by the dealer at a fee
40 of five nine dollars ($59.00) for each permit. A permit subsequently issued by
41 a dealer to a purchaser shall be valid for a period not to exceed thirty (30)
42 days.
43 The dealer shall issue temporary registration permits in numerical
44 sequence, one (1) only for each vehicle sold to a bona fide purchaser. Each
45 permit, and the attached stub, shall be completed in duplicate, in ink or by
46 typewriter at the time of issuance. The expiration date on the original permit
47 shall be filled in by rubber stamp or broad-tipped marking pen, and the print
48 shall be at least three-fourths (3/4) inch high and one-eighth (1/8) inch
49 wide. The original permit shall be displayed in the rear window of the vehicle
50 for which it is issued, except when issued for a convertible, station wagon,
51 motorcycle, or other vehicle for which this would not be practical. In these
52 exceptional cases, the permit should be conspicuously displayed in a place
53 where the number of the permit and the expiration date may be easily read and
54 where protected from exposure to weather conditions which would render it
55 illegible.

2 tion permit issued. This record shall include the name and address of the per-
3 son or firm to whom the permit is issued, a description of the vehicle for

17 istration permits in an emergency situation. The fee for a temporary registra-
18 tion shall be five nine dollars ($59.00), and shall be valid for a period of
19 thirty (30) days. The temporary fees collected by the department shall be
20 transmitted to the state treasurer for deposit in the highway distribution
21 account. Temporary fees collected by an assessor shall be distributed as fol-

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 16740
This bill would raise the fees for Division of Motor Vehicles
services by seventy-five (75) percent. Fees for services
include, but are not limited to, issuing driver's licenses;
title transfers; furnishing copies of registration or ownership
of motor vehicles or driver's license records; replacing
registration stickers; and issuance on unassigned or replacement
vehicle identification number. Funds from these fees will be
deposited into the State Highway Account and will be used by the
Idaho Transportation Department of fund operations of the
department and restore a state-funded construction program that
has been depleted due to hyper-inflation and diminished buying
power. This bill allows for the continuation of exempting fees
when the service is furnished to any federal, state, county or
city peace officer when such service is required in the
performance of their duties as peace officers.
FISCAL NOTE
The Idaho Transportation Department estimates that this change will
increase revenue from fee increases for vehicle titles, driver’s
licenses and related DMV services by $13.1 million annually to the
State Highway Account.
The one-time costs associated with implementing this legislation is
estimated to be $72,000 which includes 600 hours of system
programming by contract programmers ($45,000) and forms
development/printing ($27,000).
EFFECTIVE DATE
The effective date of the fee increases will be January 1, 2008. This
date will allow the department to complete the necessary system
programming to implement these fee increases.
