Amends existing law to provide for the use of technology and procedures to allow vehicles that meet established criteria to lawfully bypass a port of entry.
Idaho Code requires all trucks to stop at the port of entry. Consistent with the Governor’s Red Tape Reduction Act, this proposed legislation will allow some required commercial vehicle checks to be performed at ports of entry while trucks are in motion. The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is seeking to change the requirement to allow for the use of current technology, which enables the department to remotely monitor and permit certain trucks to bypass ports. Allowing certain trucks to bypass ports affords a significant convenience to the trucking industry and improves department program efficiency.

Amends existing law to provide that license plates do not automatically expire after ten years and may continue to be used while still legible.
Consistent with the Governor’s Red Tape Reduction Act, this proposed legislation will remove the requirement to replace license plates every 10 years. Due to the increased cost of aluminum and other goods, the cost of the license plate program is increasing. These increased costs could lead to increased customer prices for license plates. By allowing a customer to retain legible plates for more than 10 years, this change will mitigate potential future increases in plate costs. Additionally, this proposal removes overly prescriptive and obsolete provisions.
