  1  5 following:
  1  6    Sec.    .  INTENT.  It is the intent of the general
  1  7 assembly that the fees imposed in sections 200 through

  1 10 and appropriated to the road use tax fund.
  1 11    Sec. 200.  NEW SECTION.  325.9A  COMPLIANCE REVIEW.
  1 12    When a certificate is awarded to a motor carrier of
  1 13 property who has applied to transport hazardous
  1 14 materials requiring placarding as provided by federal
  1 15 hazardous materials regulations and the carrier does
  1 16 not have a safety rating issued by the United States
  1 17 department of transportation, the department shall
  1 18 award the certificate subject to completion of a motor
  1 19 carrier education program.  A compliance review shall
  1 20 be conducted by the department within one hundred
  1 21 eighty days of the issuance of the certificate and
  1 22 shall determine the carrier's compliance with sections
  1 23 321.449 and 321.450.  If the department determines
  1 24 that the carrier's safety rating is unsatisfactory,

  1 42 applicant, to complete the course.
  1 43    The department may require a motor carrier of
  1 44 property to complete a motor carrier education course

  1 47 weight for a vehicle operated by the motor carrier.
  1 48    An applicant shall pay a fee, determined by the
