The bill amends Section 452A.53 of the Iowa Code to increase the fee for duplicates or other evidence of interstate fuel use tax permits or licenses from fifty cents to one dollar. This change applies to vehicles operating into or through Iowa that use motor fuel, special fuel, or electric fuel acquired in other states. Under current law, these vehicles must carry evidence of the required permit or license, and the bill formalizes the new fee structure for obtaining such documentation.
Additionally, the bill reiterates that vehicles must comply with Iowa fuel tax regulations, which require payment or advance arrangements with the Department of Transportation for fuel taxes based on usage in Iowa. It emphasizes that failure to comply with these regulations can result in a simple misdemeanor, carrying a scheduled fine of $260. The bill aims to streamline the process and clarify the financial obligations associated with interstate fuel use in Iowa.
