HF 2620 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act prohibiting signs giving notice that an automated or remote system for traffic law enforcement is used when the use of a system is not authorized.

HF 2620 prohibits local authorities without a valid permit from posting signs that claim they use automated traffic enforcement systems. It specifically targets misleading signs - such as those falsely indicating a system is in use when the local authority lacks a DOT-issued permit. Violators face a $1,000 civil penalty per day, with fines deposited into the road use tax fund. The bill does not change permit requirements for using traffic enforcement systems but ensures signs only appear when legally authorized.
