Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Younger in-state commercial drivers allowed

Beginning 07/01/2025, private and for‑hire carriers that operate only inside Iowa can use drivers age 18 and older. This applies to intrastate trips. It does not cover vehicles carrying hazardous materials in amounts that require a placard. In those placarded cases, the older age rules still apply.

100-mile farm delivery age waiver

Beginning 07/01/2025, retail dealers of fertilizers, petroleum products, and pesticides—and their employees—are exempt from driver age rules for certain deliveries. The exemption applies only while delivering those products to farm customers within 100 miles of the retail place of business. It also lifts related federal hazardous‑material driver‑age requirements for those qualifying deliveries. Other rules still apply outside this scope.
