OISE, Idaho (AP) - Gem hunters and members of a fraternal organization with roots dating to 16th-century Scotland will be able to proclaim their interests on Idaho license plates after Friday.
That's when a pair of new specialty license plates - one to promote lapidary education, the other to boost charitable activities of Freemasons - go on sale.
They were approved by the Idaho Legislature, to join about 40 other specialty-plate options that allow Idaho drivers to financially support nonprofit organizations.
Other groups that benefit include snowmobile aficionados, appaloosa horse lovers and firefighters.
A $35 fee is charged when the new plate is first purchased; renewals will have a $25 fee. These fees are in addition to all other applicable annual registration costs.
All but $13 from the cost of plates is deposited into the groups' accounts.
