HF 2496 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the penalty for speeding in excess of twenty miles per hour over the limit.

HF 2496 increases the base fine for speeding more than 20 miles per hour over the limit in specific areas like public parks, alleys, and state parks. The bill raises the base fine from $135 to $285, while keeping the $5 per mile per hour penalty for speeds exceeding 20 mph over the limit. This change directly affects drivers convicted of such speeding violations in designated locations covered under current Iowa traffic laws. The amendment modifies the penalty structure in Iowa Code section 805.8A without altering the speed limit or enforcement procedures.
