Section 40-827 - AUTHORIZATION FOR VOTERS TO APPROVE VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEE.
(2) In any election, the ordinance 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 a simple majority of the votes cast.
An election to approve or disapprove the adoption of a vehicle registration fee increase may be called for by the adoption of an ordinance by majority vote of the board of county commissioners or shall be called upon a request in writing from the governing board of each of the local highway jurisdictions in the county or ten per cent (10%) or more of the number of qualified voters voting in the last general election in each county commissioner subdistrict.
(3) Any county adopting an ordinance for a vehicle registration fee increase shall contract with the department for the collection, distribution, and administration of the fee in a 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. Each month, following receipt by the department of revenues from the implementation of a vehicle registration fee increase, the department shall remit the same to the county implementing such fee, less a deduction for such amount for the department's actual costs for collection and administration of the fee, but not to exceed one and one-half per cent (1 1/2%). The increased vehicle registration fee shall not become part of the state highway account or the state highway distribution account.
(4) The local highway jurisdictions in the county shall use the funds generated by the increased vehicle registration fee exclusively for the construction, repair, maintenance, and traffic supervision of the highways within their respective jurisdictions and the payment of interest and principal of obligations incurred for said purposes.
