What it does

52 prohibits a motor vehicle, other than a private passenger automobile, from bringing into Iowa any motor fuel or special fuel (including electric fuel stored in batteries) to be used in the operation of the vehicle in Iowa unless that person has paid, or made arrangements in advance with the department of transportation (DOT) for payment of, Iowa fuel taxes on the gallonage consumed while operating the vehicle in Iowa. Additionally, each vehicle operated into or through Iowa in interstate operations using motor fuel, special fuel, or electric fuel acquired in any other state must carry in or on the vehicle a duplicate or evidence of the associated permit or license.
