SF 2155: Relating to snowmobile registrations and nonresident user permits, providing fees, and making penalties applicable

Became SF 2423 · Its progress continues under the new number.

What it does

Current law requires a person, in order to operate a snowmobile on public land, public ice, or a designated snowmobile trail, to register the snowmobile with the department of natural resources (DNR) and obtain a user permit from the DNR. The annual snowmobile registration fee is $15 and the user permit fee is also $15. This bill removes the user permit requirement for an Iowa resident operating a snowmobile and increases the annual snowmobile registration fee from $15 to $30. The bill requires a person who is not an Iowa resident to apply for and receive a nonresident snowmobile user permit and affix a permit decal to the person’s snowmobile while operating the snowmobile in Iowa.
