Several bills introduced in Iowa in 2015 failed to be approved prior to the crossover deadline.

Several bills introduced in Iowa in 2015 failed to be approved prior to the crossover deadline, when legislation must have passed the original chamber of jurisdiction (House or Senate) and been sent to the other for consideration. All of these bills are eligible for consideration in 2016.

These bills include legislation that would provide for the issuance of a single rear-mounted license plate; legislation to allow vehicles originally manufactured with a front bumper that sits 24 in. from the ground or less to display one plate; SEMA-model legislation to allow aftermarket exhaust systems that meet a 95-decibel limit; SEMA-model legislation to permit motor vehicles equipped with nitrous oxide if the system is disconnected when the vehicle is operated on public highways; and SEMA-model legislation to add a vehicle titling and registration classification for custom vehicles.
