SF 55: Authorizing the issuance of fire fighter special registration plates for vehicles owned by certain revocable trusts

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is authorized to issue fire fighter special registration plates to an owner who is a current or retired member of a fire department (fire fighter plates). An application for fire fighter plates must be approved by the DOT in consultation with representatives designated by the Iowa fire fighters’ associations. For purposes of Code chapter 321 (motor vehicles and law of the road), “owner” means a person who holds the legal title of a vehicle, or in the event a vehicle is the subject of a security agreement with an immediate right of possession vested in the debtor, then such debtor is deemed the owner.
