(SUCCESSOR TO SF 68)

A BILL FOR

An Act relating to the display of motor vehicle registration plates.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 321.37, subsection 3, Code 2015, is amended to read as follows:
   3.  It is unlawful for the owner of a vehicle to place any frame around or over the registration plate which does not permit full view of all the validation sticker, the combination of numerals and letters printed on the registration plate which constitutes the registration plate number, the state name, and the country name, where applicable.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with

the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Current law prohibits a person from attaching a frame around or over the person’s motor vehicle registration plate if the frame covers any numerals or letters printed on the registration plate. This bill narrows this prohibition to include only frames that cover the validation sticker, the registration plate number, the state name, or the country name. The scheduled fine for a violation of this provision remains $20.
