Idaho motorists now have three additional years before having to replace a vehicle’s physical license plates. Governor Brad Little on Tuesday signed into law legislation extending from seven to 10 years how long the metal license plates are valid. Currently, plates must be replaced after seven years regardless of their condition. The cost to replace the physical plates on a passenger vehicle is 7-dollars-50-cents. Officials say the change will result in a drop of 285-thousand plates produced in the first year, and a decrease of 125-thousand annually after that. There are about 1-point-8 million licensed vehicles in Idaho. (AP)
