The department may designate an opt-in period at 4 11 a time sufficiently in advance of the time for submission of 4 12 request for proposals related to the next digitized 4 13 photolicensing equipment contract period, so that the 4 14 department may accurately estimate the number of sets of 4 15 equipment that will be needed under the new contract. 4 16 c.

NEW SECTION. 321M.4 CLUSTERING. 4 32 1. The system of county issuance shall be implemented 4 33 through the use of clusters. 4 34 2. A proposed cluster shall replace one department 4 35 itinerant team. However, the proposed cluster need not be 5 1 composed of precisely the same counties served by an existing 5 2 department itinerant team. 5 3 3. The department shall have authority to approve proposed 5 4 clusters, in accordance with the following principles: 5 5 a. Proposed clusters should avoid reducing service 5 6 availability to any neighboring county not part of the 5 7 cluster, below service levels offered to such county by the 5 8 department. This principle applies, but is not limited to, 5 9 situations where service to the neighboring county by a 5 10 department itinerant team would become exceedingly difficult, 5 11 or would result in reduced annual hours of service 5 12 availability due to the need for changes in itinerant team 5 13 assignments. 5 14 b. A cluster may elect to offer service to a neighboring 5 15 county outside of the proposed cluster, if approval of a 5 16 cluster by the department is opposed because of difficulties 5 17 in servicing one or more counties that surround the cluster, 5 18 or because the cluster would require a reduction in annual 5 19 hours of service availability by the department to such 5 20 counties. 5 21 c. The department shall exercise its approval authority 5 22 under this section in good faith, and shall consult with the 5 23 Iowa county treasurers association in making its decision 5 24 regarding approval of individual clusters. 5 25 4. Prior to issuing any licenses, an approved cluster 5 26 shall execute an agreement among participating counties 5 27 pursuant to chapter 28E, addressing the relative rights and 5 28 liabilities associated with cluster activity. A copy of this 5 29 agreement, as well as any subsequent alterations or addendum, 5 30 shall be filed with the department within thirty days of 5 31 execution. 5 32 5. If a county within a cluster opts out of county 5 33 issuance during a designated opt-out period under section 5 34 321M.3 or 321M.8, or is otherwise subject to termination of 5 35 all or part of its county issuance authorization, the 6 1 remaining counties in the cluster may pursue one or more of 6 2 the following alternatives: 6 3 a. The counties may request that one or more counties 6 4 contiguous to the counties remaining in the cluster join the 6 5 cluster, in accordance with this section and other provisions 6 6 of this chapter. 6 7 b. The counties may elect to provide service to the 6 8 terminated county, in accordance with this section and other 6 9 provisions of this chapter. 6 10 6. If a cluster subject to the provisions of subsection 5 6 11 is not approved by the department for continued service as a 6 12 cluster, the individual counties in the cluster shall revert 6 13 to service by the department. 6 14 Sec. 5. NEW SECTION. 321M.5 CONTRACT BETWEEN THE 6 15 DEPARTMENT AND ISSUING COUNTIES. 6 16 1. The department and each county participating in county 6 17 issuance shall execute an agreement pursuant to chapter 28E, 6 18 detailing the relative responsibilities and liabilities of 6 19 each party to the agreement. 6 20 2. The agreement required by subsection 1 shall 6 21 specifically address the following issues, in addition to 6 22 other issues that may be required by chapter 28E or that may 6 23 otherwise be deemed necessary for inclusion in the agreement 6 24 by the parties to the agreement: 6 25 a. Responsibility for collection of, and accounting for, 6 26 any fees associated with the licensing process. 6 27 b. Oversight guidelines. 6 28 c. Performance standards. 6 29 d. Progressive discipline standards and measures, 6 30 including appeals. 6 31 e. Rights and responsibilities during any extensions of a 6 32 digitized photolicensing contract. 6 33 f. A specified opt-out period prior to each future request 6 34 for proposals for digitized photolicensing equipment 6 35 contracts, and procedures related to a decision to opt out by 7 1 a county within a particular cluster. 7 2 3. An addendum to such an agreement may be executed by the 7 3 parties, in accordance with chapter 28E. 7 4 Sec. 6. NEW SECTION. 321M.6 CERTIFICATION OF COMMERCIAL 7 5 DRIVER'S LICENSE ISSUANCE. 7 6 1. A county shall be authorized to issue commercial 7 7 driver's licenses if certified to do so by the department. 7 8 2. The department shall certify the commercial driver's 7 9 license issuance in a county authorized to issue licenses 7 10 pursuant to section 321M.3 if all of the following conditions 7 11 are met: 7 12 a. The driving skills test is the same as that which would 7 13 otherwise be administered by the state. 7 14 b. The county examiner contractually agrees to comply with 7 15 the requirements of 49 C.F.R. } 383.75, adopted as of a 7 16 specific date by rule by the department. 7 17 c. The department provides supervision over the issuance 7 18 of commercial driver's licenses, including the administration 7 19 of written and driving skills tests by the county treasurer. 7 20 However, the failure of the department to provide appropriate 7 21 supervision shall not alone be used as a reason to deny 7 22 certification. 7 23 d. The county otherwise complies with the procedures for 7 24 issuance of commercial driver's licenses as provided in 7 25 chapter 321. 7 26 3. If a county fails to meet the standards for 7 27 certification under this section, and fails to correct 7 28 deficiencies according to the department's operating 7 29 standards, the county's right to issue commercial driver's 7 30 licenses shall be terminated, and the county shall cease 7 31 issuing commercial driver's licenses. Procedures and 7 32 conditions for recertification shall be addressed in the 7 33 operating standards for the department. 7 34 4. The issuance of commercial driver's licenses for 7 35 residents of a county whose issuance rights have been 8 1 terminated under subsection 3 may be provided by other 8 2 counties in the relevant cluster, according to the provisions 8 3 of section 321M.5. The department is not obligated to provide 8 4 service in a county for issuance of commercial driver's 8 5 licenses if the county fails to meet certification standards 8 6 under this section. However, the department shall facilitate 8 7 appropriate arrangements for availability of such services as 8 8 it deems necessary. 8 9 Sec. 7. NEW SECTION. 321M.7 TRAINING. 8 10 1.

A county treasurer shall use best efforts to 8 25 complete initial training as soon as possible. A county 8 26 treasurer who does not make reasonable attempts to begin 8 27 initial training within three months of taking office may be 8 28 subject to having the county issuance program in that county 8 29 placed on probation. 8 30 Sec. 8. NEW SECTION. 321M.8 NEW OR SUBSEQUENT CONTRACTS 8 31 – OPT-OUT PERIOD. 8 32 1. If entering into a new digitized photolicensing 8 33 equipment contract is anticipated by the department, the 8 34 department shall provide an opt-out period sufficiently prior 8 35 to the issuance of a request for proposals related to such 9 1 contract by the department. 9 2 2. According to the time frame established by the 9 3 agreement executed pursuant to section 321M.5, during an opt- 9 4 out period described in subsection 1, each issuing county 9 5 shall indicate in writing to the department one of the 9 6 following: 9 7 a.
