Iowa: Human Trafficking Prevention Training for CDLs

Effective March 1, 2027, individuals applying for an initial Class A, B, or C commercial driver’s license in Iowa must certify to the Iowa Department of Transportation that they have completed a course of instruction on human trafficking prevention. Employers that hire commercial drivers should build this certification step into their recruiting and onboarding workflows and monitor the Iowa Department of Transportation for approved training materials. The underlying law (HF 2598) took effect July 1, 2026, although compliance obligations do not begin until March 1, 2027.
