STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation has two parts. Both parts seek to align existing concepts in statute currently. 1. It makes motorcycle endorsement permits (MIP) and class D instruction permits (IP) valid for one (1) year to align with one (1) year commercial learner’s permit. 2. It removes the requirement for customers surrendering a current/valid out-of-state driver’s license to take a knowledge test if they have previously held an Idaho driver’s license. They have previously demonstrated they understand the rules of the road in Idaho.
