SF 2355 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to intelligent speed assistance devices on motor vehicles, making penalties applicable, and including effective date provisions.

This bill requires drivers who lose their license for severe speeding violations (exceeding speed limits by 10+ mph under 40 mph or 20+ mph over 40 mph) to install an intelligent speed assistance device in their vehicle to qualify for a temporary restricted license. The device must be approved by the state, and drivers cannot tamper with it. The law applies only to those whose license was revoked under specific speeding violations (sections 321.209, subsections 1, paragraphs "h" or "i"), not all speeding offenses. It also gives the state authority to set device standards and eligibility for low-income drivers. The bill includes effective date provisions but doesn't change penalties for speeding itself.
