SF 2109: Relating to the driving privileges of persons under eighteen years of age, and making penalties applicable

Signed into law

What it does

In 2023, the general assembly requested the formation of an interim study committee to examine policy matters and make recommendations on statutory changes relating to licensed driving by persons between and years of age (2023 Iowa Acts, chapter 92, section 23) and the legislative council established the minor driver’s license interim study committee for that purpose. This bill reflects the committee’s unanimous recommendations. Current law requires the department of transportation (DOT) to implement a graduated driver’s license process which places driving restrictions for young and inexperienced drivers, and removes restrictions as the driver ages and gains more experience.
