                                MOTOR VEHICLES
                                  CHAPTER 4
                          MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION
    49-404.  NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS -- DISTINCTIVE PLATES. (1) In order to
enhance visibility and identification of national guard members during
mobilizations and emergencies, any active member of the Idaho national guard
residing in the state of Idaho may, upon application to the department,
register not more than two (2) motor vehicles and receive for each vehicle
distinctive national guard license plates in lieu of regular license plates.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to any vehicle with a
registered maximum gross weight over twenty-six thousand (26,000) pounds. The
national guard license plates shall be designed, subject to the approval of
the department, by the adjutant general. Proof of being an active member in
the Idaho national guard must be furnished to the department before plates
will be issued.
    The Idaho national guard shall, prior to an individual's discharge from
active duty in the national guard, require that the national guard license
plates either be turned in to the department or exchanged for other proper
license plates as a condition of discharge.
    (2)  Whenever a member of the Idaho national guard transfers or assigns
his title or interest to a vehicle especially registered under the provisions
of this section, the registration shall expire but the member may hold his
national guard license plates which he may have reissued to him upon the
payment of the required transfer fees. He may only display the plates after
receipt of new registration from the department.
    (3)  In addition to the regular registration fees required in section
49-402(1) or 49-434(1), Idaho Code, the national guard member shall pay the
plate fee specified in section 49-450, Idaho Code.
