IA HF2479

Amends Iowa Code Section 321.189 to expand the definition of "veteran" for driver's license marking purposes to include National Guard members regardless of the number of active duty service days served

Current DOT rules require National Guard or reserve members to have at least 90 aggregate days of active duty service (non-training) to qualify for veteran status on their license

Honorably discharged veterans of the U.S. armed forces may request "VETERAN" be marked prominently on the face of their driver's license upon presenting DD Form 214 or other satisfactory proof

When a license is issued with veteran status based on DD Form 214 presentation, the department must notify the county commission of veteran affairs, which then initiates contact with the licensee
