SF 2228: Relating to the transfer of ownership of certain foreign vehicles

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on May 24, 2022. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

Under current law, a person who owns but does not physically possess the certificate of title to a foreign (out-of-state) vehicle may apply to register the foreign vehicle and the county treasurer may issue a registration receipt and registration plates if the required registration fees are paid, but cannot issue a certificate of title. A county treasurer must issue a certificate of title when the certificate of title from the foreign state is surrendered. Generally, an Iowa certificate of title is required to transfer ownership of a vehicle.
