who is the owner of a vehicle registered under the provisions of section
49-402, Idaho Code, or registered under any other section of law for which the
purchase of special plates is allowed, may apply for and upon department
approval receive special Idaho youth 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.
Availability of Idaho  youth plates for other vehicles shall be subject to the
rules, policies and procedures of the department.
    (2)  In addition to the regular registration fee required in chapter 4,
title 49, Idaho Code, the applicant shall be charged a fee of thirty-five
dollars ($35.00) for the initial issuance of the plates, and twenty-five
dollars ($25.00) upon each succeeding annual registration. Ten dollars
($10.00) of the initial fee and ten dollars ($10.00) of the renewal fee shall
be deposited in the state highway account and shall be used to fund the cost
of the administration of this special license plate program. Twenty-five
dollars ($25.00) of each initial fee and fifteen dollars ($15.00) of each
renewal fee shall be transferred by the county assessor's motor vehicle
registration division of each county into the youth programs fund of the
sheriff of that county, for use in implementation of prevention and early
intervention programs for Idaho's at-risk youth including, but not limited to:
(a) providing mentoring programs, (b) creating safe places and structured
activities in nonschool hours, (c) fostering good health, (d) developing
effective education opportunities for marketable career skills, and (e)
providing an opportunity for youth to give back to their community.
    (3)  Whenever title or interest in a vehicle registered under the
provisions of this section is transferred or assigned, the owner may transfer
the special plates to another vehicle upon payment of the required transfer
fees. The owner may only display the plates on another vehicle upon receipt of
the new registration from the department.
    (4)  The Idaho youth license plate shall be of a color and design
comparable to the standard issue of license plates with blue numerals on a
red, white and blue background, except that the word "Idaho" shall appear on
each plate and the county designator shall be omitted to provide for
distinguishing designs and slogans, acceptable to the Idaho association of
counties, to be added to the plate. The design shall be approved by the
department and shall utilize a numbering system as determined by the
department. Initial costs of the plate program, including costs of plate
design, shall be paid by the Idaho association of counties.

thirty dollars ($30.00), ten dollars ($10.00) of which shall be deposited in
the state highway account and twenty dollars ($20.00) of which shall be
deposited in the sheriff's youth program fund of the county where the plate
was purchased for the implementation of youth programs for at-risk youth. No
additional fee shall be charged for personalizing sample plates.
