HSB 656 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to remote sales of motor vehicles.

This bill (HSB 656) updates Iowa's rules for remote vehicle sales, directly affecting licensed dealers and buyers purchasing vehicles online or via mail. It removes the requirement that remote sales must occur "at a place of business listed on the license," while allowing dealers to use electronic copies of vehicle titles during these sales. The bill clarifies that buyers gain ownership rights at the time of vehicle delivery, with dealers still required to deliver the physical title document within 30 days. These changes streamline remote transactions without altering existing title application timelines or dealer licensing requirements.
