A bill for an act relating to the penalty for speeding in excess of twenty miles per hour over the limit.

HF 45 increases the base fine for speeding more than 20 miles per hour over the limit in specific areas like public parks, alleys, and state parks from $135 to $285. The bill adds $5 for every additional mile per hour over the 20-mph threshold. This directly affects drivers convicted of such speeding violations in designated locations. The change modifies existing misdemeanor penalties under Iowa law, raising the maximum fine amount for these offenses. The bill was recommended for passage by committees but was withdrawn in March 2025.
