HF 202 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the driving privileges of unsupervised persons issued a special minor’s restricted driver’s license, and making penalties applicable.

HF 202 modifies Iowa's restricted driver's license rules for minors aged 14-18. It adds "attending religious worship services or participating in volunteer service programs at the licensee’s established place of religious worship" to the list of approved destinations for unsupervised driving. The bill maintains the existing 25-mile distance limit and requires driving during the hour before and after these activities. This change directly affects minors holding special minor’s restricted licenses who need to travel for religious purposes.
