  1 11 follows:
  1 12    The department shall furnish, on application, free of
  1 13 charge, distinguishing plates for vehicles thus exempted,
  1 14 which plates except plates on Iowa highway safety patrol
  1 15 vehicles shall bear the word "official" and the department
  1 16 shall keep a separate record.  Registration plates issued for
  1 17 Iowa highway safety patrol vehicles, except unmarked patrol

  1 19 before and one following the registration number on the plate,
  1 20 which registration number shall be the officer's badge number.
  1 21 Registration plates issued for a county sheriff's patrol
  1 22 vehicles shall display one seven-pointed gold star followed by
  1 23 the letter "S" and the call number of the vehicle.  However,

  1 25 transportation may order the issuance of regular registration
  1 26 plates for any exempted vehicle used by peace officers in the
  1 27 enforcement of the law, persons enforcing chapter 124 and
  1 28 other laws relating to controlled substances, persons in the

  1 30 department of commerce, the department of inspections and
  1 31 appeals, and the department of revenue and finance, who are
  1 32 regularly assigned to conduct investigations which cannot
  1 33 reasonably be conducted with a vehicle displaying "official"
  1 34 state registration plates, and persons in the lottery division
  1 35 of the department of revenue and finance whose regularly
  2  1 assigned duties relating to security or the carrying of
  2  2 lottery tickets cannot reasonably be conducted with a vehicle
  2  3 displaying "official" registration plates, and persons in the
  2  4 department of economic development who are regularly assigned
  2  5 duties relating to existing industry expansion or business
  2  6 attraction.  For purposes of sale of exempted vehicles, the
  2  7 exempted governmental body, upon the sale of the exempted
  2  8 vehicle, may issue for in-transit purposes a pasteboard card
  2  9 bearing the words "Vehicle in Transit", the name of the
  2 10 official body from which the vehicle was purchased, together
  2 11 with the date of the purchase plainly marked in at least one-
  2 12 inch letters, and other information required by the
  2 13 department.  The in-transit card is valid for use only within

  2 15 bill of sale which shall be carried by the driver.
