The bill introduces Gadsden flag special registration plates in Iowa, allowing vehicle owners to apply for these plates upon payment of a $50 special fee. The design of the plates will feature a yellow and white background, black letters and numbers, and an image of a coiled rattlesnake with the phrase "Don't Tread on Me." Additionally, personalized Gadsden flag plates can be obtained for an extra fee, limited to five characters. The fees collected will be deposited into the road use tax fund, with a portion allocated to the Department of Public Safety for grants related to firearm rights and safety training.

Furthermore, the bill amends existing laws regarding registration plate frames, stating that vehicle owners are no longer required to ensure that frames allow full visibility of the county name on the plate. It also exempts Gadsden flag plates from the general requirement to display the issuing county's name and from the design consistency with regular registration plates. The bill emphasizes that the issuance of Gadsden flag plates will not be contingent on a minimum number of orders.
