  1 21    2.  A substance abuse awareness program is

  1 23 commission on substance abuse.  The program shall
  1 24 consist of an insight class and a substance abuse

  1 26 participant, to discuss issues related to the
  1 27 potential consequences of substance abuse.  The parent

  1 29 to participate in the program.  The program provider
  1 30 shall consult with the participant or the parents of
  1 31 the participant in the program to determine the timing
  1 32 and appropriate level of participation for the
  1 33 participant and any participation by the participant's
  1 34 parents.  The program may also include a supervised
  1 35 educational tour by the participant to any or all of
  1 36 the following:
  1 37    a.  A hospital or other emergency medical care
  1 38 facility which regularly receives victims of motor

  2  5 coordinator shall explain and discuss the experiences
  2  6 which may be encountered during the tour to the

  2 21 benefits of attending a program and shall notify a
  2 22 potential program participant of the availability
  2 23 programs which exist in the area in which the person
  2 24 resides.  The state department of transportation shall
  2 25 consult with the Iowa department of public health to
  2 26 determine what programs are available in various areas
  2 27 of the state.  The period of revocation for a person
  2 28 whose motor vehicle license or operating privilege has
  2 29 been revoked under section 321J.2A, if enacted, shall
  2 30 be reduced by fifty percent upon receipt by the state
  2 31 department of transportation of a certification by a
  2 32 program provider that the person has completed a
  2 33 program.
  2 34    5.  Program providers and facilities toured during
  2 35 the program are not liable for any civil damages
  2 36 resulting from injury to the participant, or civil
  2 37 damages caused by the participant during or from any
  2 38 activities related to a tour, except for willful or
  2 39 grossly negligent acts intended to, or reasonably
  2 40 expected to result in, such injury or damage.
  2 41    6.  The program provider shall determine fees to be
  2 42 paid by participants in the program.  The program fees
  2 43 shall be paid on a sliding scale, based upon the
