The bill mandates the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish a study committee focused on evaluating the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of implementing wildlife crossings at specific highway locations that experience high rates of vehicle crashes involving animals. The committee is tasked with assessing the costs associated with injuries to humans and property damage from these crashes, as well as the potential savings that could result from the installation of wildlife crossings. The findings of the study committee must be reported to the general assembly by January 11, 2027.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision for the repeal of this section on July 1, 2027, indicating that the study committee's work and the associated requirements will have a defined timeframe. This legislative action aims to address safety concerns related to wildlife-vehicle collisions and explore solutions that could benefit both human safety and wildlife conservation.
