AI Summary

  • Amends Iowa Code Section 321I.14 to create an exception to the prohibition against operating an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with more passengers than the vehicle was designed to carry

  • Allows ATVs modified to carry one additional passenger if the modification uses an aftermarket product or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) product specifically designed for that purpose

  • Requires the passenger-carrying modification to be designed for the specific type of ATV and manufactured for commercial sale

  • Current law already exempts ATVs operated as part of a farm operation from passenger limits; this bill adds a second exemption for properly modified vehicles

  • Violating ATV passenger limits remains a simple misdemeanor with a scheduled fine of $135
