The bill amends Section 452A.53 of the Iowa Code regarding the fee for duplicates or other evidence of interstate fuel use tax permits or licenses. It removes the fixed fee of fifty cents for obtaining a duplicate or evidence of a permit or license and instead mandates that the state department of transportation adopt rules to establish the fee. This change allows for more flexibility in setting the fee amount, which will be determined through administrative rules rather than being fixed in the statute.

Additionally, the bill reiterates that vehicles operating in Iowa must carry evidence of the required permits or licenses and emphasizes that individuals who do not arrange for permits or licenses in advance are still responsible for purchasing fuel in accordance with their use of Iowa's highway system. Violations of the existing fuel tax regulations remain subject to penalties, including a simple misdemeanor charge with a scheduled fine of $260.
