HSB 769 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to driver’s licenses and nonoperator’s identification cards marked to reflect gold star status.

This Iowa bill allows surviving spouses, parents, children, and siblings of U.S. military members who died while serving on active duty to request a specific mark on their driver's licenses or identification cards. Upon providing proof of eligibility, the state will issue these documents with the phrase "GOLD STAR FAMILY" printed prominently on the face. The legislation does not change any existing rights or benefits but simply adds this visual designation to honor the loss of a loved one in military service.
