A bill for an act relating to administrative fees charged by motor vehicle dealers, and making penalties applicable.

SSB 1059 changes the name of motor vehicle dealers' fees from "documentary fee" to "administrative fee" and removes the $180 maximum fee limit. It requires dealers to include this fee in the vehicle's advertised price and disclose it clearly in purchase agreements with a specific notice stating the fee is not an official charge or legally required. The bill applies directly to Iowa motor vehicle dealers and their customers, maintaining existing disclosure rules while updating terminology and removing the fee cap. This is a policy change to the fee structure, not a new requirement for dealers.
