HF 2334 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the suspension of a person’s driver’s license for unlawful or fraudulent uses, and including applicability provisions.

This bill mandates a six-month driver's license suspension for individuals who unlawfully or fraudulently use or permit such use of a license, specifically targeting violations under sections 321.216 (unlawful license use), 321.216B (underage alcohol/tobacco use with fake IDs), and 321.216C (underage tobacco/vaping use with fake IDs). It prohibits the Department of Transportation from issuing temporary restricted licenses during this suspension period and extends automatic expungement of suspension records after six months for violations under 321.216B or 321.216C. The policy applies to suspensions occurring on or after July 1, 2027, and requires a $20 reinstatement fee for license restoration. This directly affects drivers convicted of license fraud, including underage individuals attempting to obtain alcohol or tobacco using fraudulent identification.
