SSB 1015 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to driver age qualifications for certain commercial motor vehicle drivers operating solely intrastate to transport hazardous material.

This bill changes Iowa's rules for commercial drivers transporting hazardous materials intrastate. It removes an existing exception that allowed 18-year-olds to drive such vehicles, now requiring drivers to meet the federal minimum age of 21 for all intrastate hazardous material transport. It also eliminates a separate exemption for retail dealers of farm products (fertilizers, petroleum, pesticides) delivering within 100 miles of their business. These changes apply to private and for-hire motor carriers operating solely within Iowa.
