Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 49-207, Idaho Code, the voters
of any county in which a county-wide highway district is organized pursuant to
chapter 14, title 40, Idaho Code, may authorize the county-wide highway
district to adopt a resolution by a majority vote of the county-wide highway
district commissioners to implement and collect a motor vehicle registration
fee not to exceed two (2) times the amount established in section 49-402,
Idaho Code. The authorization to adopt, implement, and collect a vehicle
registration fee may be made by the registered voters of the county only at a
general election held in even-numbered years, and a simple majority of the
votes cast on the question shall be necessary to authorize the fee.
(2) In any election, the resolution submitted to the county voters shall:
(a) State the exact rate of the fee; and
(b) State the duration of the fee.
No rate shall be increased and no duration shall be extended without the
approval of the voters, by the same simple majority of the votes cast.
An election to approve or disapprove the adoption of a vehicle
registration fee may be called for by the adoption of a resolution by a
majority vote of the county-wide highway district commissioners. Any costs
incurred to conduct the election for the district shall be a charge against
the district, and shall be paid by the district.
(3) Any county-wide highway district authorized to adopt a resolution for
a vehicle registration fee shall contract with the department for the
collection, distribution, and administration of the fee in like manner, and
under the definitions, rules, and regulations for the collection and
administration of other registration fees as set forth in chapter 4, title 49,
Idaho Code. Monthly, following receipt by the department of revenues from the
implementation of a vehicle registration fee, the department shall remit the
same to the county-wide highway district implementing such fee, less a
deduction for such amount as may be agreed upon between the department and the
commissioners of the county-wide highway district, for the department's actual
costs for collection and administration of the fee. The vehicle registration
fee shall not become part of the state highway account or state highway
distribution account.
(4) The county-wide highway district must use the funds generated by a
vehicle registration fee exclusively for the construction, repair,
maintenance, and traffic supervision of the highways within its jurisdiction,
and the payment of interest and principal of obligations incurred for said
purposes.
(5) Sections 49-405, 49-408, 49-416, 49-404, 49-409, 49-415, and 49-410,
Idaho Code, shall be subject to the provisions of this code section.
