Functional classification is a requirement of House File 394 (Functional Highway Classification Bill) enacted by the 63rd General Assembly of the Iowa Legislature. Functional classification is defined in this Bill as: "The grouping of roads and streets into systems according to the character of service they will be expected to provide, and the assignment of jurisdiction over each class to the governmental unit having primary interest in each type of service."
