  1  4 clause and inserting the following:
  1  5    "Section 1.  Section 321.210, subsection 2,
  1  6 paragraph d, Code 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  1  7    d.  The first two speeding violations within any
  1  8 twelve-month period of ten miles per hour or less over
  1  9 the legal speed limit in speed zones having a legal
  1 10 speed limit between thirty-four equal to or greater
  1 11 than thirty-five miles per hour and fifty-six miles
  1 12 per hour.
  1 13    Sec. 2.  Section 321.285, subsection 6, unnumbered
  1 14 paragraph 1, Code 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  1 15    Notwithstanding any other speed restrictions, the
  1 16 speed limit for all vehicular traffic on fully
  1 17 controlled-access, divided, multilaned highways
  1 18 including the national system of interstate highways
  1 19 designated by the federal highway administration and
  1 20 this state (23 U.S.C.  } 103 (e)) is sixty-five miles
  1 21 per hour.  The speed limit for vehicular traffic,
  1 22 other than motor trucks, on the national system of

  1 24 divided, multilaned highways is seventy miles per hour
  1 25 and the speed limit for motor trucks is sixty-five

  1 33 through traffic by providing access connections with
  1 34 selected public roads only and by prohibiting
  1 35 crossings at grade or direct private driveway
  1 36 connections.  A minimum speed of forty miles per hour,
  1 37 road conditions permitting, is established on the
  1 38 highways referred to in this subsection.

  2 27 public safety shall study and prepare a joint report
  2 28 relating to vehicle speed management, enhanced speed
  2 29 limit enforcement, and work zone safety in
  2 30 construction areas.  The departments shall confer with
  2 31 representatives of the private sector construction
  2 32 industry to develop guidelines to promote motorist and
  2 33 construction worker safety.  The departments shall
