A bill for an act relating to operating a motor vehicle at excessive speeds, providing penalties, and making penalties applicable.

HF 2176 amends Iowa law to address speeding at 100 miles per hour or more. It requires immediate driver's license suspension (without a preliminary hearing) upon conviction for exceeding 100 mph, replaces the current 30-day notice requirement. The bill defines operating a vehicle at 100+ mph as reckless driving and increases penalties to a $500 base fine plus $5 for each mile per hour over the limit, with courts requiring in-person appearances for these violations. This directly affects drivers convicted of such high-speed offenses, imposing stricter license, fine, and court procedures compared to lower-speed violations.
