A fee not to exceed fifty cents shall be charged The 7 state department of transportation shall adopt rules pursuant 8 to chapter 17A to set the fee for each duplicate or other 9 evidence of a permit or license issued. 10 EXPLANATION 11 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 12 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 13 Under current law, Code section 452A.52 prohibits a motor 14 vehicle, other than a private passenger automobile, from 15 bringing into Iowa any motor fuel or special fuel (including 16 electric fuel stored in batteries) to be used in the operation 17 of the vehicle in Iowa unless that person has paid, or made 18 arrangements in advance with the department of transportation 19 (DOT) for payment of, Iowa fuel taxes on the gallonage consumed 20 while operating the vehicle in Iowa. 21 Additionally, each vehicle operated into or through Iowa 22 in interstate operations using motor fuel, special fuel, or 23 electric fuel acquired in any other state must carry in or on 24 the vehicle a duplicate or evidence of the associated permit 25 or license.
