What’s in it
AI summary Iowa will create a new fund to help pay for the upkeep and cleaning of scenic highways. When people renew their vehicle registrations, they will have the option to donate one dollar or more to this fund. Some of the money collected can stay with local county treasurers to help fund their own county's general budget.1
Read the official explanation
This bill creates a scenic byways enhancement fund and appropriates moneys in the fund to the department of transportation (DOT) for the support, development, maintenance, and enhancement, including litter prevention, of scenic byways. For each application to renew the registration of a vehicle, the county treasurer or the DOT is required to request that an applicant make a voluntary contribution of $1 or more, computed to the nearest whole dollar, to the scenic byways enhancement fund. Up to percent of the moneys collected by the county may be retained by the county treasurer for deposit in the general fund of the county. The bill takes effect January 1, 2022.
