Des Moines, Iowa — Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is giving flooding victims a break by suspending some provisions for licenses, vehicle titles, and more for counties impacted by recent widespread flooding.
Reynolds issued the proclamation for Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo, Cherokee, Clay, Dickinson, Emmet, Floyd, Fremont, Harrison, Hancock, Humboldt, Kossuth, Lyon, Mills, Monona, O’Brien, Osceola, Palo Alto, Plymouth, Pocahontas, Pottawattamie, Sioux, Webster, Winnebago, Woodbury, Worth and Wright Counties in response to the widespread flooding in Iowa.
The governor’s proclamation allows for the additional targeted suspension of specific regulatory requirements in affected counties to effectively respond to and recover from the effects of this event and protect public peace, health, and safety.
These provisions are in addition to all other provisions previously issued as a result of the June 21 and continuing severe weather and flooding. The new provisions are —
- Temporarily suspend the regulatory provisions to the extent those provisions restrict the movement of permitted loads at night or movement under permit on holidays.
- Temporarily suspend the provisions prescribing fees for the issuance of duplicate registrations and certificate of title for snowmobiles.
- Temporarily suspend the provisions prescribing fees for the issuance of duplicate registrations and certificate of title for all-terrain vehicles.
