A bill for an act relating to discharging firearms on public roadways, and making penalties applicable.

HF 23 prohibits discharging any firearm from within or on a motor vehicle on a public roadway in Iowa. It directly affects drivers and passengers who might fire weapons from vehicles on public roads. The bill amends existing law to ban all firearm discharges (not just rifles or specific weapons) from vehicles on public roadways, expanding current restrictions. Violators face a minor offense penalty with a $30 fine. This creates a clearer, broader prohibition than prior law, which only covered specific weapons like rifles over highways.
