• Transportation Committee – All Bill Summary 2021

    SF 230 – Salvaged vehicles

    SF 230 changes the threshold from 50% to 70% of the fair market value before a vehicle is considered a wrecked or salvaged vehicle.
    [2/3: 46-0 (Excused: Hogg, Lykam, Nunn; one vacancy)]

    SF 231– Special minor farm permit

    SF 231 allows the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) to issue a class C or M driver’s license to those between 14 and 18 who live on a farm or are employed on a farm. It limits the license from operating a motor vehicle with more than two axles or towing another vehicle. The licensee may operate from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., is restricted to 50 miles from point of origin to destination, and is limited to one unrelated minor passenger in the vehicle. The licensee may stop to refuel at a service station closest to the route travelled.

    Current laws states that special minor permits will not be issued if the applicant resides within one mile of their school building. However, if the applicant resides on a farm or is employed for compensation on a farm, the distance between the residence and the school of enrollment will not apply. The special minor permit is subject to suspension or revocation for the same reasons and in the same manner as any other driver’s license.
    [2/3: 46-0 (Excused: Hogg, Lykam, Nunn; one vacancy)]

    SF 232 – Abandoned vehicles

    SF 232 eliminates the requirement that a law enforcement agency or private entity that takes into custody an abandoned vehicle describe all personal property found in the vehicle. It also makes proof of insurance and a valid driver’s license a requirement from the person who received notice of an abandoned vehicle, or the person claiming on their behalf, if the vehicle is to be driven from the premises.
    [2/3: 46-0 (Excused: Hogg, Lykam, Nunn; one vacancy)]

    SF 234– Secondary road reclassification

    SF 234 states when county supervisors and county engineers classify a road as Level C, the classification must apply to the entire portion of the road between the roads access points. It prohibits only a portion of the road or a bridge from being classified as an area service C classification, but does not apply to roads that end in dead ends. Current Level C roads not in compliance with this law have until January 1, 2022, to meet the requirements.
    [3/17: 47-0 (Excused: Goodwin, Hogg, Nunn)]

    SF 444 – Transfer of registration plates

    SF 444 allows a person to surrender their registration card and plates to a county treasurer of any county in Iowa, rather than the county treasurer of the county where the vehicle is registered. It strikes the requirement that the maximum documentary fee be reduced by $25 after a statewide electronic system for titling, registration and related services has been implemented. The bill also addresses warranty services and states that a motor vehicle franchiser (automaker) must provide a franchisee (auto dealer) a list of time allowances for the performance of warranty services.
    [3/17: 47-0 (Excused: Goodwin, Hogg, Nunn)]

    SF 548 – Regulation of highway advertising devices

    SF 548 amends Iowa’s billboard control laws to avoid any content-based discrimination. A recent Supreme Court case determined that government’s application of different standards for different types of signs based on the content of the sign is an infringement on the First Amendment right to free speech. Failure to comply could result in a loss of $53 million in federal funding. Signs will either be regulated or not regulated, depending upon whether they fit the definition of “advertising devices.” This definition captures all signs that exist in exchange for any type of compensation, monetary or otherwise (defined as “remuneration”).
    [3/8: 48-0 (Excused: Hogg, Nunn)]

    SF 551 -Firefighters responding to an emergency

    SF 551 allows a driver with firefighter or emergency medical service plates to reasonably exceed the speed limit when responding to a fire alarm or emergency call. The driver must have received emergency vehicle operations training and make use of a blue light. It does not relieve the driver from the duty to drive with regard for the safety of others and does not protect them from reckless disregard for the safety of others. It requires the court to dismiss and expunge any citation issued when the driver complied with the bill and who presents to the court a signed statement from the applicable fire chief with details about the driver’s operation of the vehicle while responding.
    [3/17: 47-0 (Excused: Goodwin, Hogg, Nunn)]

    HF 280  – Renewal of CDL online 

    HF 280 is a DOT bill allowing many commercial drivers to renew their Commercial Drivers License (CDL) online every other renewal period. During the pandemic, the federal government allowed CDL holders to renew online unless they hold a hazmat endorsement. This will provide greater flexibility and convenience, and reduce unnecessary in-person appointments by 28,000, freeing up appointment times for those seeking other DOT services.
    [3/29: 45-0 (Excused: Driscoll, Hogg, Kraayenbrink, Nunn. Sweeney)]

    HF 380 – Distracted driving instruction

    HF 380 states that of the 30 hours student drivers must complete in an approved driver education course, at least four hours must include curricula on substance abuse and distracted driving, and provide awareness about sharing the road with bicycles and motorcycles.
    [4/7: 44-0 (Excused: Brown, Carlin, Dawson, Hogg, Nunn, Schultz)]

    HF 382 – Weight limits in national emergency

    HF 382 – Iowa Code did not authorize the state DOT to issue one special permit to apply to multiple vehicles with overweight divisible loads on the interstate when those vehicles are all operating under the same motor carrier’s U.S. DOT number. This bill rectifies that problem.
    [3/29: 45-0 (Excused: Driscoll, Hogg, Kraayenbrink, Nunn. Sweeney)]

    HF 389 – Exemption from chauffeur’s license

    HF 389 exempts all volunteer firefighters, volunteer ambulance drivers and rescue squad attendants from being considered chauffeurs.
    [3/22: 48-0 (Excused: Kinney, Nunn)]

    HF 493 – Low-speed electric bikes

    HF 493 defines “low-speed electric bicycle” and establishes three different classes of low-speed electric bicycles and where those bicycles may operate.

    The criteria for each class of low-speed electric bicycle is:

    • Class 1: Low-speed electric bicycle equipped with a motor that may be used only when the rider is pedaling and that ceases when the bicycle speed reaches 20 miles per hour or more.

    • Class 2: Low-speed electric bicycle equipped with a motor that may be used to exclusively propel the bicycle and that is not operable when the bicycle speed reaches 20 miles per hour or more.

    • Class 3: Low-speed electric bicycle equipped with a motor that may be used only when the rider is pedaling and that ceases when the bicycle speed reaches 20 miles per hour or more.

    The bill excludes low-speed electric bicycles from the definition of “vehicle,” thereby excluding them from license and permit requirements; requires that manufacturers or distributors of low-speed electric bicycles permanently affix a label to those manufactured or distributed after January 1, 2022, stating the class number of the bicycle, the top assisted speed and the motor wattage; limits the ability to modify a low-speed electric bicycle in a way that would disqualify it from the definition stated in the bill, and if modification would move a bicycle from one classification of low-speed electric bicycle to another, the bicycle must be labeled as the new classification; prohibits the bike from exceeding the posted or applicable speed limits, and if not posted, will not exceed 20 miles per hour; provides certain manufacturing requirements; and prohibits a person 16 or younger from operating a Class 3 low-speed electric bicycle. Scheduled violations are punishable by a fine of $25.
    [4/12: 46-0 (Excused: Hogg, Lofgren, Nunn, Rozenboom)]

    HF 495– Reporting dates on Road Use Tax Funds

    HF 495 changes the reporting date for cities from September 30 to December 1 each year for monies received from the Road Use Tax Fund. It also changes from December 31 to March 1 reversion of all moneys to the street construction fund.
    [3/22: 48-0 (Excused: Kinney, Nunn)]

    HF 524 – Leaving scene of an accident

    HF 524 applies the mandatory license revocation provision under Iowa Code section 321.209 to a driver who knows or has reason to believe that their vehicle was involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death of a person. It provides that the driver must immediately stop their vehicle at the scene. If the driver leaves the scene and later discovers their vehicle was involved in such an accident, they must make a good-faith effort to immediately contact emergency services.

    HF 524 expands the penalties applicable under Iowa Code section 321.261 to include:

    • Any person failing to stop or to comply with the requirements to stop under this section, who causes an accident resulting in a serious injury to any person, is guilty of a Class D felony.
    • A person failing to stop or to comply with the requirements of this section, who causes an accident resulting in the death of a person, is guilty of a Class C felony.
      [5/5: 48-0 (Excused: Hogg, Nunn)]

    HF 654 – Lights on Authorized Emergency Vehicles

    HF 654 authorizes the types of lights that can be equipped on emergency vehicles owned by the state or any political subdivision of the state. It authorizes emergency vehicles to be equipped with flashing headlamps, red and blue lights, flashing or solid white lights, split red and blue steady or flashing lights, and light bars containing one or more rear-zone amber lights or amber directional arrows. Also, an incident command vehicle may be equipped with one or more steady or flashing green lights. Towing or recovery vehicles, unless owned by the state or a municipality, are prohibited from having red and blue lights or a siren. Any emergency vehicle purchased on or after July 1, 2021, must be equipped with a master warning switch to activate all emergency lights on the vehicle.
    [3/29: 45-0 (Excused: Driscoll, Hogg, Kraayenbrink, Nunn. Sweeney)]

    HF 655 – Interference with transport of agricultural animal

    HF 655 creates an aggravate misdemeanor offense for knowingly interfering with a motor vehicle transporting an agricultural animal or interfering with an agricultural animal confined in the motor vehicle. A second offense becomes a class “D” felony. Also, a defendant charged with the offense may assert an affirmative defense that the person was acting with the consent of either of the following: (1) a person actually or apparently transporting the agricultural animal or (2) a person actually or apparently exercising legal control of the agricultural animal.
    [3/22: 48-0 (Excused: Kinney, Nunn)]

  • Transportation – All-Bill Summary 2020

    SF 388 – Iowa Medal of Honor Highway

    SF 388 renames U.S. Highway 20, which runs between Dubuque and Sioux City, the “Iowa Medal of Honor Highway.” The Department of Transportation will work with private entities on the creation, installation and placement of signs proclaiming the new highway designation.
    [6/10: 49-0 (Absent: Feenstra)]

    SF 2091 – Odometer requirements

    SF 2091 complies with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for odometer disclosure statements when registering and titling a motor vehicle. Previously, a vehicle model that was at least 10 years old was exempt from the odometer disclosure statement. This bill requires a 20-year look-back.
    [2/25: 50-0]

    SF 2250 – Timber buyers

    SF 2250 aims to stop timber theft by requiring a person who transports timber to possess a completed form approved by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), showing written proof of ownership or consent of the owner to take the timber. Failure to provide a completed form is a serious misdemeanor, but the violation may be removed if a form is completed and presented to the DNR before the date of enforcement of the fine.
    [2/24: 50-0]

    SF 2296 – Vehicle independent contractors

    SF 2296 defines the term “owns” as it relates to an owner-operator of a vehicle who qualifies as an independent contractor. Under Iowa’s worker compensation, wage and unemployment laws, a worker or an employee is entitled to certain benefits. However, the terms “worker” and “employee” do not apply to independent contractors.
    [2/24: 32-18, party line]

    HF 2235 – CDL and human trafficking

    HF 2235 complies with federal regulations for commercial driver’s licenses by disqualifying for life those who commit a felony involving a severe form of human trafficking while operating a commercial motor vehicle.
    [3/2: 50-0]

    HF 2310 – Oversized loads

    HF 2360 – Under previous law, for a person is between 17 years 11 months and 72 years, a driver’s license expires eight years from the licensee’s birthday, but not to exceed their 78th birthday. The bill makes the upper age limit 78 and is effective September 1, 2020.
    [6/6: 46-4 (No: Celsi, Hogg, Quirmbach, Wahls)]

    HF 2372 – Exemption for chauffeur licenses

    HF 2372 exempts a farmer or farmer’s hired help from having a chauffeur license when operating a special truck owned by the farmer and exclusively transporting the farmer’s products within 100 miles from land owned or rented by the farmer. The bill also allows an autistic driver to have that status noted on their driver’s license if they choose.

    HF 387 repeals two sections of the Code relating to following distance of certain vehicles. Under current law, motor trucks and motor vehicles drawing another vehicle are prohibited from following within 300 feet of another motor truck or motor vehicle drawing another vehicle. This bill strikes these requirements and the related penalties.
    [4/18: 49-0 (Excused: Guth)]

     

    HF 390 – Required notices of certain aircraft

    HF 390 eliminates the requirement for aircraft owners to keep current paper registration certificates on aircraft that have been junked or destroyed by fire or accident. The change was made because aircraft registrations are now checked electronically. The bill removes outdated references to paper aircraft certificates and changes references from “returning certificates” to “providing notice” to the Department of Transportation (DOT).
    [4/8: 50-0]

     

    HF 418 – Commercial Driver’s Licenses

    HF 418 requires Iowa to comply with federal regulations for commercial driver’s licenses (CDL) or face loss of federal highway funding.

    HF 643 – Driver’s licenses for the deaf

    HF 643 allows a deaf or hard-of-hearing person to request that their driver’s license reflect that status on the face of the license when they apply for issuance or renewal. The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) will adopt related rules. Once marked, the licenses must be noted in the electronic database used by the DOT and law enforcement. The bill also instructs the DOT to work with the Commission of Deaf Services to raise awareness about the ability to request such a mark on a license.
    [4/18: 49-0 (Excused: Mathis)]

     

    HF 767 – Alternative-fueled vehicles

    HF 767 creates new registration fees for electric and hybrid vehicles and a new excise tax on hydrogen and electric fuel. In light of the increasing use of these vehicles, the Legislature directed the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) to estimate the impact of increased usage of electric, hybrid and other high-efficiency motor vehicles on future revenues to the Road Use Tax Fund. It also required the DOT to evaluate and recommend alternative funding mechanisms or the alteration of existing funding mechanisms to offset decreases in future revenues due to the increased use of these vehicles. DOT produced recommendations with the goal of no net change in revenue, equity and administrative costs. HF 767 is based on recommendations from a DOT report.

    Registration Fees – Battery electric vehicles have no internal combustion engine and are propelled exclusively by electricity. Under the bill, battery electric motors will pay an additional registration fee of $65 in 2020, increasing to $130 after January 1, 2022. Plug-in hybrid vehicles will pay a $32 fee beginning in 2020, increasing to a fee of $65 after January 1, 2022. Motorcycles that have a battery electric or hybrid motor will pay an additional $4.50 fee beginning in 2020, with the fee increasing to $9 by January 1, 2022.

    Excise Tax – A gallon of hydrogen is 249 pounds. The excise tax will be 65 cents per gallon. Vehicles using hydrogen fuel will have a special fuel sticker from the county treasurer noting that the vehicle takes special fuel. Electric fuel means electrical energy delivered or placed into a battery or other energy source outside the motor vehicle to propel it. An excise tax of two and six-tenths cents per kilowatt hour of electric fuel delivered into the battery will attach at the time of delivery. A person cannot sell or dispense electric fuel unless they hold an electric fuel license.
    [4/27: 34-14 (Yes: Republicans, Kinney, Quirmbach; Excused: Lykam, T. Taylor)]

     

    HF 769 – Gross weight of special trucks

    HF 769 allows a special truck used for certain farming purposes to increase to a gross maximum weight of 39 tons from the current maximum of 32 tons. The registration fee is an additional $25 per ton between 32 and 38 tons, and an additional $10 per ton between 38 and 39 tons.
    [4/26: 49-0 (Excused: Feenstra)]

     

    SF 208 – Increased length for car haulers

    SF 208 allows stinger-steered transporters (car hauls) to have an overall length of 80 feet, which brings Iowa into compliance with federal code. Current Iowa law is 75 feet.
    [3/18: 48-1 (Absent: Dawson; Vacant: Danielson)]

     

    SF 302 – Automated driving systems

    SF 302 allows driverless-capable vehicles to operate on public highways without a human driver physically present in the vehicle if it meets these conditions:

    • It is capable of achieving minimal risk conditions if a malfunction occurs that renders it unable to perform any dynamic driving task.
    • It is capable of operating in compliance with the applicable traffic and motor vehicle safety laws that govern dynamic driving tasks.
    • It is in compliance with all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards.
    • The owner maintains proof-of-financial-liability coverage and carries it in the vehicle.
    • The vehicle must remain at the scene of an accident, and failure to comply may result in the owner being charged with related code violations.

    The bill also authorizes a person to operate an on-demand driverless-capable vehicle network to transport goods and people. Automated driving systems will be governed and regulated by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
    [4/17: 48-1 (No: Hogg)]

     

    SF 303 – Replacement drivers’ license

    SF 303 – Iowans under 21 carry a vertical driver’s license. Upon turning 21, they are not required to get a new horizontal license until it’s due for a renewal. The bill makes the person eligible to apply electronically for a replacement horizontal license for the unexpired months. The Iowa Department of Transportation will notify the individual prior to their 21st birthday of their eligibility for the replacement license.
    [3/11: 46-0 (Excused: Edler, J. Smith, Zaun; Vacant: Danielson)]

     

    SF 435 –Towable recreation vehicles

    SF 435 creates a manufacturer-dealer agreement for non-motorized towable recreation vehicles and is outside the auto franchise section of the Code. It clarifies that both manufacturers and dealers are responsible when consumers have problems or need repairs or replacement.
    [3/21: 46-0 (Absent: Bisignano, Celsi, R. Taylor; Vacant: Danielson)]

     

    SF 629 – Excessive-weight vehicle permit updates

    SF 629 requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to develop and implement a single statewide system to receive applications for and issue permits that allow vehicles of excessive size or weight on state and local highways or streets. The DOT will determine, in consultation with local authorities, appropriate routes on which these vehicles can operate. DOT will set a permit fee by rule. Fees must be proportionate to those in Code section 321E.14. DOT must allocate a portion of the fees to local authorities.

    The DOT must submit a report to the Legislature by December 31, 2021, on development and implementation of the system.

    DOT may issue annual permits authorizing a vehicle or combination of vehicles to transport divisible loads of raw forest products from fields to storage, processing or other commercial facilities. The annual permit fee is $175. A vehicle or combination of vehicles for which a permit is issued may exceed the maximum weights in Code section 321.463 if the gross weight on any one axle does not exceed the limits in Code section 321E.7 (gross weight on any one axle: 20,000 pounds; gross weight on any one tandem axle with at least four tires: 46,000 pounds). Vehicles are prohibited from exceeding size limits in Code sections 321.454 through 321.457. Vehicles are prohibited from traveling on interstates. Permits are valid on non-primary highways if the local authority has approved the route within its jurisdiction.

The Commission must consult with stakeholders, including regional planning affiliations, metropolitan planning organizations, Iowa State Association of Counties and League of Cities.

    Annually, $150 million in federal aid flows to the Transportation Commission, which allocates funds to cities and counties. Projects paid for with federal money have certain requirements that state and local money does not, which means these requirements no longer must be met:

    • Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates
    • Buy American provisions, including mandating the use of American steel
    • Environmental impact studies
