SENATE BILL 1081
RS30290 / S1081
This bill will improve Idaho’s road safety, ensure more drivers on Idaho roads are covered by insurance, enhance driver education and training for all Idahoans, improve safety of law enforcement officers, reduce the severity and extent of motor vehicle collisions, and generate additional state revenue for Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) programs. If enacted, the bill makes a Restricted Driver’s License available to all persons residing in Idaho. It is also an alternative to the STAR Card, or REAL ID, and would make available class D driving privileges to all persons who can verify their identity and that they live in Idaho. The restricted driver’s license would be issued by ITD, or other authorized vendors (including a county if it chooses to opt-in), and would have to be renewed every 2 years at a cost of $50. The Restricted Driver’s License would be limited to driving purposes only, it would have a distinguishable appearance, and conspicuous words of limitation to ensure the card is not used for voting, to purchase firearms, or to exercise any other rights or privileges reserved to citizens.
