BY  (PROPOSED COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION BILL BY CHAIRPERSON KAPUCIAN)

A BILL FOR

An Act relating to persons operating a farm tractor or implement of husbandry who are exempt from driver’s licensing requirements.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 321.176, subsection 2, Code 2020, is amended to read as follows:
   2.  Any person while operating a farm tractor or implement of husbandry to or from the home farm buildings to any adjacent or nearby farmland for the exclusive purpose of conducting farm operations.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Current law exempts from driver’s licensing requirements a person operating a farm tractor or implement of husbandry to or from home farm buildings to any adjacent or nearby farmland for the exclusive purpose of conducting farm operations. This bill strikes “adjacent or nearby” from the exemption, thereby exempting a person operating a farm tractor or implement of husbandry to or from home farm buildings to any farmland from driver’s licensing requirements.
