Common Questions

Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes. Note: Statewide FAQ — applies to all of Iowa. No city-specific FAQ is available yet — the answers below apply to the broader jurisdiction.

❓What is the difference between the acronyms DUS, OWI, and PAULA?▼
In Iowa, DUS, OWI, and PAULA are three different alcohol-related Iowa Code violations. OWI (Operating While Intoxicated, Iowa Code §321J.2) is the equivalent of DUI/DWI — driving with BAC ≥0.08, while impaired by drugs/alcohol, or with any controlled substance present; penalties scale with offense number. DUS (Driving Under Suspension, Iowa Code §321.218) is driving on a suspended license, often resulting from a prior OWI; it's a serious misdemeanor with fines and possible jail. PAULA (Possession of Alcohol Under the Legal Age, Iowa Code §123.47) is the under-21 minor-in-possession offense — a simple misdemeanor with a $200 fine for the first offense. PAULA does not require driving. Sources: Iowa Code §321J (https://www.legis.iowa.gov/), Iowa DOT (https://iowadot.gov/).
