Iowa Code § 462A.67
If after performing an inspection the officer determines that the vessel is not properly registered, numbered, or equipped, the officer may issue an inspection deficiency order or citation to the operator of the vessel. The inspection deficiency order may indicate any deficiencies found to exist during the inspection and shall direct the owner or operator of the vessel to properly register or number the vessel or have equipment repairs or replacements made and return a copy of the inspection deficiency order with proof of compliance with the registration, numbering, or equipment requirements to the commission within fourteen days. If such proof is not provided within fourteen days, the owner or operator is in violation of this chapter.
