Iowa organizations will have a new way to promote their cause and raise money if House File 617 becomes law. The bill would make it easier for nonprofits in Iowa to get their own special license plate.
The Iowa Department of Transportation will create a special plate with a spot for an organization’s decal. The organization will design, produce and issue the decal, and fees charged for the decal will go to the organization.
Qualifying organizations include nonprofits that serve the community, contribute to the welfare of others and are not discriminatory. A group of organizations with a common purpose could also qualify. The plates can even be personalized.
