HF 2761 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 bill allows surviving spouses, parents, children, or siblings of U.S. military members who died while on active duty during a conflict or from service-related causes to request a special mark on their driver's license or identification card. If the request is approved with proof of eligibility, the state will prominently display the phrase "GOLD STAR FAMILY" on the front of the license or card. The legislation does not change any other information on the documents and does not affect individuals who do not meet these specific eligibility criteria.
