SF 55 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act authorizing the issuance of fire fighter special registration plates for vehicles owned by certain revocable trusts.

SF 55 allows Iowa's Department of Transportation to issue special fire fighter registration plates to vehicles owned by revocable trusts, provided the person who created the trust (the grantor) is a current or retired member of a fire department. This expands eligibility beyond individual firefighters to include qualifying trusts, with the trust owner needing to pay a $25 special fee (plus regular registration costs). The bill defines "revocable trust" as one where the grantor retains the right to amend or revoke it, and specifies that the grantor must be a firefighter. Proceeds from the special fee are directed to the Paul Ryan memorial fire fighter safety training fund.
