Law
Vehicles, ports of entry
TRANSPORTATION – 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.

RS30809 / H0412

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.

This legislation will have no impact on the state’s general fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund; the technology is already in place to allow some preclearance checks of commercial trucks in motion.
