HSB 552 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act restricting counties and cities from issuing a local form of identification.

This bill prohibits counties and cities in Iowa from issuing local identification cards to residents. It allows exceptions for counties issuing state-authorized driver's licenses, non-driver ID cards, or disability devices under Chapter 321M, and for both counties and cities to issue ID cards to employees or officials for work-related purposes. The law directly affects residents seeking local government-issued IDs but does not impact state-issued IDs or employee identification. It aims to limit local government ID programs while maintaining existing state-level identification systems.
