What’s in it

This bill prohibits a person from operating a motor vehicle in Iowa if the vehicle is equipped with a system or technology capable of remotely disabling the vehicle while the vehicle is being operated. The bill requires every motor vehicle operated in Iowa to be equipped with a functional radio capable of receiving certain commercial radio station transmissions (AM radio). By operation of law, a person who operates a motor vehicle equipped with a vehicle-disabling system or technology and a person who operates a motor vehicle without a functional AM radio equipped commits a simple misdemeanor.

Read the full explanation

A simple misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than days and a fine of at least $105 but not more than $855. The department of transportation is required to post permanent signs, meeting the specified requirements in the department manual on uniform traffic-control devices, giving notice of the prohibition against operating a motor vehicle equipped with a vehicle-disabling system or technology and the requirement for a motor vehicle to be equipped with an AM radio at the location where any highway enters the boundaries of Iowa.
