HF 2063 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act creating a study committee on implementing wildlife crossings at certain highway locations.

HF 2063 directs Iowa's Department of Transportation (DOT) to create a study committee to examine the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of installing wildlife crossings at highway locations with high rates of vehicle-animal collisions. The committee must analyze costs from human injuries, property damage, and potential savings to determine if crossings are viable. The DOT must submit a report to the legislature by January 11, 2027, and the bill expires on July 1, 2027. This is a procedural study bill with no immediate policy changes, solely focused on gathering data for future decisions.
