HF 2658 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to street takeovers, and providing penalties.

HF 2658 prohibits "street takeovers" - events involving motor vehicles violating reckless driving (Code 321.277), careless driving (321.277A), or drag racing (321.278) laws, with at least three vehicles or spectators present. It imposes escalating penalties: a first-time participant faces a $500 fine and license revocation, a second violation brings a $2,500 fine (up to 1 year jail), and a third violation is a class "D" felony ($3,500 fine, up to 5 years jail). The bill also bans organizing (serious misdemeanor) or spectating (simple misdemeanor, $400 fine) street takeovers, and requires impounding vehicles used in such events for 30 days. These provisions directly affect drivers, organizers, and spectators involved in street racing or similar events.
