HF 528 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to reckless driving and excessive speed, and making penalties applicable.

HF 528 reclassifies speeding 25 miles per hour or more over the limit as reckless driving under Iowa law. This change means drivers who exceed speed limits by 25+ mph will now face reckless driving charges instead of standard speeding penalties. If such speeding unintentionally causes death, it becomes a class C felony (up to 10 years in prison); if it causes serious injury, it becomes a class D felony (up to 5 years). The bill directly affects drivers who speed significantly, with penalties escalating based on the outcome of the violation.
