Allows deaf or hard-of-hearing drivers to use electronic devices for American sign language communication while driving.
Iowa HF2437 amends current law to permit deaf or hard-of-hearing drivers to use electronic devices for American sign language communication while driving. This exception applies only to those who are at least 25 years old and hold a driver’s license marked to reflect their deaf or hard-of-hearing status. The device must remain fixed and not obstruct the driver’s view or vehicle operation. Violators face a simple misdemeanor charge and a $100 fine.
