A bill for an act relating to persons eligible for special registration plates with a veteran processed emblem.
HF 292 would expand eligibility for Iowa's "veteran" special vehicle registration plates to include any Iowan who served in the U.S. armed forces, reserve forces, or Iowa National Guard and was honorably discharged, regardless of service length. Currently, some reserve/National Guard members need 20+ years of service or specific activation periods to qualify. The bill modifies Iowa Code to remove these duration requirements while specifying that fees from these plates fund veterans' programs. The bill was withdrawn on March 21, 2025, and is no longer active.
