Iowa DOT benefits for Disabled Veterans

The Issue

Iowa currently does not offer any benefits to disabled veterans in regards to vehicle tags/registration. As a retired Army soldier and disabled veteran who recently relocated to Iowa, I was shocked to learn that these benefits do not exist as they did in the state I relocated from (Tennessee). When I arrived in Iowa, I was driving on a tag that was a permanent disabled veteran tag and had no cost. That tag also allows the disabled veteran to park in handicap spaces, as they should. Currently the only plates offered for military are specialty plates that cost more. I am very disappointed in the state for not offering this to our disabled veterans and believe it is disgraceful to those who have served our country. Will you join me in petitioning for a change?
