Several bills introduced in Iowa in 2018 are now dead as they failed to pass before the legislative deadline.

Several bills introduced in Iowa in 2018 are now dead as they failed to pass before the legislative deadline. A bill that would have set a window tinting minimum standard of 35% light transmittance failed to be enacted despite having been passed by the Senate.

Another bill would have allowed model-year ’78 or older vehicles to display a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle. Current single plate law only applies to model-year ’48 or older vehicles. Finally, a bill to allow the creation of special-interest vehicle plates died. Special-interest vehicles are vehicles used solely for public displays, parades, related pleasure or hobby activities, or occasional transportation not related to the person’s business or occupation.
