House File 894 amends Iowa law regarding the release of liens on snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, and water vessels. The bill introduces a new subsection in three sections of the Code 2025, specifically Sections 321G.32, 321I.34, and 462A.84. This new language stipulates that if a lien has been released by the lienholder, proof of the release can be presented to the county recorder of any county. The county recorder is then required to note the release on the face of the certificate of title and enter the release into the statewide computer system.

This legislative change aims to streamline the process of lien release documentation for owners of snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, and water vessels, ensuring that the information is accurately reflected in official records. By mandating that county recorders update both the certificate of title and the statewide system, the bill enhances transparency and efficiency in the management of vehicle titles in Iowa.
