Iowa House halts new specialized license plates plan
The Iowa House, by 75 to 20, voted to pause approval of specialized license plates for two years effective Jan 1. The bill would redesign the standard plate to include room for emblems, allow vanity plates, and remove the habitual drunken driver plate. It keeps $25 emblem fees and adds a $5 renewal, while dropping a natural resources plate option.
