Senate File 628 is a legislative bill that appropriates funds from the Road Use Tax Fund and the Primary Road Fund to the Iowa Department of Transportation for the fiscal year 2025-2026. The bill outlines specific allocations for various purposes, including salaries, support, maintenance, and miscellaneous expenses for transportation operations and motor vehicle services. Notably, it allocates $17,611,473 for transportation operations and $32,710,876 for motor vehicles, along with additional funds for utility services, unemployment compensation, workers' compensation claims, and various modernization and maintenance projects. The bill also stipulates that unencumbered or unobligated funds from certain appropriations will remain available for expenditure for up to three years.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 321.145 of the Iowa Code by adding a new subparagraph that appropriates an amount necessary for the costs associated with producing and distributing drivers' licenses and non-operator identification cards, capped at the revenues derived from the fees charged for these services. This insertion aims to ensure that the Department of Transportation has the necessary funding to cover these specific operational costs without exceeding the revenue generated from related fees.
