ID H0927

Beginning January 1, 2027, the Idaho Department of Transportation must suspend driver's licenses, permits, and operating privileges for drivers who are 60 or more days delinquent in paying traffic infraction penalties or established payment plans.

Suspensions apply only to moving violations and exclude citations issued to pedestrians, bicyclists, or for parking violations.

Licenses suspended for unpaid infraction penalties cannot be reinstated until the penalty is paid to the court, with proof of payment required for reinstatement.

The department may issue temporary restricted permits allowing suspended drivers to travel to and from their place of employment, and operating a vehicle during suspension for medical emergencies is permitted.

Suspended drivers may appeal to district court in the county where the infraction judgment was entered, and if the court finds the suspension was improper, privileges must be reinstated without a fee.
