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 penalty structure for serious speeding violations, aiming to deter excessive speeding by imposing a higher financial consequence. The bill does not alter the penalties for other levels of speeding, which remain unchanged.
