This bill amends Section 452A.53, subsection 5 of the Iowa Code, specifically increasing the fee for duplicates or other evidence of interstate fuel use tax permits or licenses. The fee is raised from fifty cents to one dollar for each duplicate or evidence issued. This change aims to update the cost associated with obtaining necessary documentation for vehicles operating in Iowa that utilize motor fuel, special fuel, or electric fuel acquired from other states.

Under current law, vehicles engaged in interstate operations must carry proof of their permit or license while operating in Iowa. The bill reinforces the requirement that individuals must either pay Iowa fuel taxes or make arrangements with the Department of Transportation (DOT) for payment based on their fuel consumption in the state. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in a simple misdemeanor, which carries a scheduled fine of $260.
