This bill amends the penalty for speeding in excess of twenty miles per hour over the speed limit in Iowa. Specifically, it modifies Section 805.8A, subsection 5, paragraph a, subparagraph (5) of the Code 2025. The current fine of $135 for speeding over 20 MPH is increased to $285, with an additional charge of $5 for each mile per hour over the limit.

The changes reflect a shift in the legal language, replacing the previous fine of "One hundred thirty-five dollars" with "Two hundred eighty-five dollars" and adjusting the subsequent penalties accordingly. This amendment aims to impose stricter penalties on drivers who significantly exceed speed limits, thereby enhancing road safety.
