The Iowa House amended and approved legislation to require the issuance of only a single license plate for motor vehicles.

Legislation to require the issuance of only a single license plate for motor vehicles was amended and approved by the Iowa House. Under the amendment, sports cars and those vehicles registered as antiques would be included among those allowed to display a single plate attached to the rear of the vehicle. 

Iowa defines an antique vehicle as a motor vehicle 25 years old or older. H.F. 2148 defines a “sports car” to mean a motor vehicle originally manufactured with seats for two passengers, with a front bumper that sits 8 in. from the ground or less, and capable of exceeding 134 mph. The bill will now be heard by the Senate Transportation Committee.
