Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed over 180 bills into law this year, with most taking effect on July 1. However, some laws will go into effect at the start of the new year on January 1, 2025. Some of the key laws set to take effect include an increase in vehicle registration and title fees under House File 674, new regulations for consumer data protection with Senate File 262, and additional regulations for selling tobacco products under Senate File 345.
House File 674 will see an increase in fees for various vehicle registration and titling needs, while Senate File 262 outlines consumer rights to personal data and regulations for controllers. Senate File 345 will require retailers selling tobacco products to have permits, ensure products are not visible to those under 21, and prevent underage individuals from obtaining tobacco devices.
The laws aim to address various issues and concerns within the state, including protecting consumer data, regulating tobacco sales, and providing revenue sources for county treasurers. The full text of each legislation can be found on the Iowa General Assembly’s website.
As Iowa enters the new year, these laws will come into effect, impacting residents and businesses throughout the state. It is important for individuals and entities to understand and comply with the new regulations to avoid potential penalties or violations.
