BOISE — Standard Idaho driver’s license, identification card and instruction permit fees increased by $5 as of Thursday. Knowledge test fees have increased by $2.
The fee increases come as a result of House Bill 161, intended to raise money for county sheriffs’ offices and make up administrative costs. Fees hadn’t increased in more than 30 years.
Also in effect Thursday is a law that driver’s licenses suspended for failure to pay child support can petition the court to issue a temporary restricted license. House Bill 96 is supposed to help people secure and maintain employment to meet child support obligations, according to an Idaho Transportation Department press release.
Senate Bill 1102 similarly went into effect Thursday. As a result, car dealerships can electronically register customers’ vehicles.
