The bill amends Section 321.34 of the Iowa Code to exempt fleet vehicles from the requirement of displaying annual registration validation stickers. Specifically, it introduces a new provision stating that if the Department of Transportation (DOT) issues or reassigns registration plates for a vehicle designated as part of a fleet, no validation sticker will be issued or required to be displayed. The DOT is also authorized to adopt rules for alternative identification methods for these fleet vehicles.

Under current law, the DOT issues a validation sticker for each set of registration plates upon renewal, which must be displayed on the rear plate (or front plate for truck tractors). This bill changes that requirement for fleet vehicles, allowing the DOT to issue a single registration plate and receipt without the need for a validation sticker, thereby streamlining the registration process for fleet operators.
