Section 1. Section 321.34, subsection 2, paragraph a, Code 2025, is amended to read as follows:

a. In lieu of issuing new registration plates each registration year for a vehicle renewing registration, the department may reassign the registration plates previously issued to the vehicle and may adopt and prescribe an annual validation sticker indicating payment of annual registration fees. The department shall issue one validation sticker for each set of registration plates. The sticker shall must specify the month and year of expiration of the registration plates. The sticker shall be displayed only on the rear registration plate, except that the sticker shall be displayed on the front registration plate of a truck tractor. A validation sticker issued for the upcoming registration year prior to the expiration of the applicable current registration year does not invalidate the registration, and is not required to be displayed on the registered vehicle’s registration plate until the owner would be considered to be driving a motor vehicle with an expired registration under section 321.39.
