FLOOR ACTION:
SF 2091 – Odometer Requirements
SF
2091 complies with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration for odometer disclosure statements when registering and
titling a motor vehicle. Under current law, a vehicle model that is at least 10
years old is exempt from the odometer disclosure statement. This bill will
require a 20-year look-back.

SF 2249 – Secondary Road Classification
SF
2249 allows that an area service “C” classification for a road must
apply to the entire portion of a road between the road’s access points and
includes, but is not limited to, the driveway. It prohibits county supervisors
from classifying as level “C” only part of a road between the access points, or
only a bridge on the road.

SF 2250 – Timber Buyers
SF
2250 relates to the responsibilities of timber buyers and transporters in
an effort to thwart timber theft. It requires a person engaged in transporting
timber to possess a completed form approved by the Department of Natural
Resources, showing written proof of ownership or consent of the owner to take
the timber. Failure to provide a completed form is a serious misdemeanor, but
the violation may be removed if a form is be completed and presented to the DNR
before the date of enforcement of the fine.

SF 2296 – Vehicle Independent Contractors
SF
2296 seeks to define the term “owns” as it relates to an owner-operator of a
vehicle and qualifies as an independent contractor. Under Iowa’s worker
compensation, wage and unemployment laws, a worker or an employee is entitled
to certain benefits. However, the terms “worker” and “employee” do not apply to
independent contractors.
