Day on the Hill

The AC4C Poli cy Group hosted the 5th Annual DOH event on February 28th - and successfully beat the weather odds. Did you realize over the life of this event we have educated almost 1000 youth and adults about the ways of legislative processes and key policies that affect our youth?

What is it?

The Iowa ABD Age to Purchase App allows users to scan driver's licenses with their smartphone. No personal information of the customer is stored on the device. The built-in scanning function uses the camera feature on the device to scan the barcode on the driver's license to quickly help determine age and validity. The app also gives users access to a view similar to the desktop calendars previously issued by ABD.
