A bill for an act relating to the conveyance of firearms in or on certain vehicles.
This bill repeals existing restrictions on carrying firearms while operating snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in Iowa. It removes requirements that firearms must be unloaded and enclosed in a case, and eliminates the $35 fine for carrying an unloaded firearm and $70 fine for carrying a loaded firearm improperly. The bill also repeals associated fines and provisions that previously limited when loaded firearms could be carried on these vehicles, regardless of land ownership. This change directly affects anyone operating snowmobiles or ATVs in Iowa, removing specific firearm carriage restrictions during operation. The policy shift simplifies rules for carrying firearms on these vehicles without requiring unloaded/cased storage or land ownership exceptions.
