Iowa Introduces Bill to Reduce Registration Fee for Limited-Use Older Motor Vehicles

A bill (H.F. 2024) has been introduced in the Iowa State Legislature to allow any vehicle that is 25-years old or older and used only for exhibition, entertainment or educational purposes to be registered for an annual fee of $5.               

We Urge You to Contact House Transportation Committee Members (List Attached) Immediately To Request Their Support for H.F. 2024

  • Under current law, a motor vehicle which is 25 years old or older may be registered as an antique vehicle upon payment of the regular annual registration fee for the vehicle.  Certain vehicles that are 25 years old or older and used only for exhibition, entertainment, or educational purposes may be registered as "limited use" vehicles, subject to a registration fee of $40 for a two-year period.
     
  • H.F. 2024 eliminates the current "limited use" registration fee for antique motor trucks, truck tractors, road tractors, and motor homes and establishes an annual registration fee of $5 for any motor vehicle that is 25 years old or older and used only for exhibition, entertainment, or educational purposes.
     
  • H.F. 2024 provides that the registration only allows driving of the vehicle upon the public roads to and from state and county fairs or other places of entertainment or education for exhibition or educational purposes and to and from service stations for the purpose of receiving necessary maintenance, or for the purposes of transporting, testing, demonstrating, or selling the vehicle.
     
  • H.F. 2024 continues to allow owners the option to register an antique motor vehicle for unlimited travel upon payment of the regular registration fee.

DON’T DELAY!  Please contact members of the Iowa House Transportation Committee immediately to request their support of H.F. 2024.  Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org.  Thank you for your assistance.
