What’s in it

Current law exempts seriously disabled veterans who have been provided with an automobile or other vehicle by the United States government from paying motor vehicle registration fees and applying for a persons with disabilities parking permit. This bill broadens these exemptions to include disabled veterans with a disability rating of 100 percent as determined by the United States department of veterans affairs, regardless of whether the disability is service-related.34. The bill requires the disabled veteran to be a resident of the state of Iowa.

Read the full explanation

In lieu of the set of regular or special military registration plates available without fee, the disabled veteran may obtain a set of nonmilitary special registration plates or personalized plates by paying the additional fees associated with those plates. However, if the veteran was issued or reassigned such plates prior to July 1, 2023, the veteran may continue to use the plates without paying the additional fees.166 requires the registration plates provided under the bill to display the alphabetical characters “DV” preceding the registration plate number.
