(Des Moines, IA) A Senate committee may soon debate the concept of leaving the county name off the bottom of some Iowa license plates. Iowa Automobile Dealers Association lobbyist Brad Epperly says the proposal would create the option for a generic plate that doesn’t list the county where the vehicle’s owner lives. He says only three of the 63 specialty license plates in the state list county names at the bottom. The Iowa State Sheriffs and Deputies Association says a survey of county sheriffs in Iowa found 77 percent were opposed to the idea. Iowa is one of five states that have county names listed on the standard state license plate.
