A bill for an act relating to motor vehicle special registration plate decals created by a nonprofit veterans’ organization or associated with military service, and providing fees.

HF 2147 creates special vehicle registration decals for Iowans who earned specific U.S. military combat awards, including combat infantryman, combat action, and combat medical badges. It authorizes nonprofit veterans organizations (501(c)(19) status) to design and administer these decals, requiring the state to produce them after 250 orders for each design. Veterans with qualifying awards can apply for free special plates with these decals, paying only a $10 annual fee per pair of decals, with all fees directed to Iowa's veterans license fee fund. The bill directly affects eligible veterans, qualifying veterans nonprofits, and the Iowa Department of Transportation, which will manage the program.
