This bill amends Section 452A.53 of the Iowa Code to increase the fee for duplicates or other evidence of interstate fuel use tax permits or licenses from fifty cents to one dollar. Under current law, vehicles operating in Iowa with motor fuel, special fuel, or electric fuel acquired from other states must carry proof of the necessary permit or license. The bill maintains the requirement for these vehicles to have the appropriate documentation while adjusting the associated fee.

Additionally, the bill reiterates that individuals who do not obtain a permit or license in advance from the Department of Transportation (DOT) are still responsible for purchasing fuel in accordance with their usage of Iowa's highway system. Violations of the existing fuel tax regulations remain classified as a simple misdemeanor, with a scheduled fine of $260.
