Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 321.177, subsection 10, Code 1997, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    10.  To any person who has a delinquent account owed to the
  1  4 state according to records provided to the state department of
  1  5 transportation by the department of revenue and finance
  1  6 pursuant to section 421.17, unless the person provides to the
  1  7 state department of transportation evidence of approval for
  1  8 issuance from the department of revenue and finance.  The
  1  9 department of revenue and finance shall approve issuance if
  1 10 the applicant has made arrangements for payment of the debt
  1 11 with the agency, which is owed or is collecting the debt, to
  1 12 the satisfaction of the agency.  This subsection is only
  1 13 applicable to those persons who are applying for issuance of a
  1 14 license in a county which is participating in the driver's
  1 15 license indebtedness clearance pilot project.
  1 16    Sec. 2.  Section 321.210B, Code 1997, is amended to read as
  1 17 follows:
  1 18    321.210B  NONRENEWAL, OR SUSPENSION FOR FAILURE TO PAY
  1 19 INDEBTEDNESS OWED TO THE STATE.
  1 20    1.  The department shall suspend or refuse to renew the
  1 21 motor vehicle license of a person who has a delinquent account
  1 22 owed to the state according to records provided by the
  1 23 department of revenue and finance pursuant to section 421.17.
  1 24 A license shall be suspended or shall not be renewed until
  1 25 such time as the department of revenue and finance notifies
  1 26 the state department of transportation that the licensee has
  1 27 made arrangements for payment of the debt with the agency
  1 28 which is owed or is collecting the debt.  This section is only
  1 29 applicable to those persons residing in a county which is
  1 30 participating in the driver's license indebtedness clearance
  1 31 pilot project.
  1 32    2.  A person may challenge the suspension or nonrenewal of
  1 33 a license under this section by making written appeal to the
  1 34 department of revenue and finance within ten days of the
  1 35 notice that the person's license is suspended or the refusal
  2  1 to renew the person's license.  The only ground for reversing
  2  2 or modifying the department's action is a mistake of fact,
  2  3 including but not limited to a mistake as to whether the
  2  4 person owes a debt to the state or a mistake in the amount
  2  5 owed or being collected by the state.  The department of
  2  6 revenue and finance shall notify the department and the person
  2  7 of its determination by regular mail.
  2  8    3.  An appeal under this section is not subject to chapter
  2  9 17A.
  2 10    Sec. 3.  Section 421.17, subsection 34, paragraph i, Code
  2 11 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  2 12    i.  The director may distribute to credit reporting
  2 13 entities and for publication the names, addresses, and amounts
  2 14 of indebtedness owed to or being collected by the state if the
  2 15 indebtedness is subject to the centralized debt collection
  2 16 procedure established in this subsection.  The director shall
  2 17 adopt rules to implement administer this paragraph, and the
  2 18 rules shall provide guidelines by which the director shall
  2 19 determine which names, addresses, and amounts of indebtedness
  2 20 may be distributed for publication.  The director may
  2 21 distribute information for publication pursuant to this
  2 22 paragraph, notwithstanding sections 422.20, 422.72, and
  2 23 423.23, or any other provision of state law to the contrary
  2 24 pertaining to confidentiality of information.  
  2 25                           EXPLANATION
  2 26    This bill makes the driver's license indebtedness clearance
  2 27 pilot project permanent and extends the pilot project
  2 28 statewide.  The bill provides that the state department of
  2 29 transportation shall not renew a driver's license or shall
  2 30 suspend the driver's license of a person who has a delinquent
  2 31 account or other indebtedness owed to or being collected by
  2 32 the state unless the applicant or licensee has made
  2 33 arrangements for the payment of the debt with the agency which
  2 34 is collecting the debt.  A determination of the amount owed
  2 35 shall be based upon information provided pursuant to Code
  3  1 section 421.17.
  3  2    The bill also provides that a person who is refused renewal
  3  3 of a license or whose license is suspended may appeal to the
  3  4 department of revenue and finance that the person is not the
  3  5 person with the delinquent account or debt being collected by
  3  6 the state or that the amount sought to be collected is
  3  7 incorrect.  The appeal is not subject to the provisions of the
  3  8 Iowa administrative procedure Act, chapter 17A of the Code.
  3  9    In addition, the bill provides that the director of the
  3 10 department of revenue and finance may provide the names,
  3 11 addresses, and amount of indebtedness owed or being collected
  3 12 by the state to credit reporting agencies.
