Amends existing law to require an applicant for motor vehicle registration to provide proof of insurance and to require that the Idaho Transportation Department develop an electronic verification system to monitor the status of insurance coverage as to all registered vehicles.

This legislation amends section 49-1234 Idaho Code to specify certain requirements of the online insurance verification program when registering or renewing a vehicle; and providing an effective date of January 1, 2020. The portal with insurance data is already in operation. The Department of Transportation shall suspend the registration of any vehicle identified by the department as failing to comply after the owner has been notified. Idahoans will have at least 30 days to comply. Upon revocation of a registration due to a lack of insurance verification, an owner will be assessed a $75 fee to reregister.
