Bill Summary
This bill prohibits a motor vehicle from being equipped with headlamps or auxiliary driving lamps that display light that is a color other than white. A person who violates Code section 321.385 or 321.403 commits a simple misdemeanor punishable by a $45 scheduled fine. The bill does not affect the color requirements for signal lamps under Code sections 321.317 and 321.404.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Iowa law to require that headlamps and auxiliary driving lamps on motor vehicles display only white light, prohibiting any other color. Violating these new provisions, which apply to sections 321.385 (Headlamps on motor vehicles) and 321.403 (Auxiliary driving lamps) of the Iowa Code, will result in a simple misdemeanor, carrying a scheduled fine of $45. This change specifically targets the color of light emitted by these forward-facing lamps and does not alter regulations concerning the color of signal lamps, such as turn signals or brake lights, as outlined in sections 321.317 and 321.404.
