  1 14    Sec. 2.  Section 321J.4, subsections 2 and 4, Code

  1 16    2.  If a defendant is convicted of a violation of section

  1 18 nonresident operating privilege has not already been revoked
  1 19 under section 321J.9 or 321J.12 for the occurrence from which
  1 20 the arrest arose, the department shall revoke the defendant's
  1 21 motor vehicle license or nonresident operating privilege for
  1 22 two years if the defendant has had a previous conviction or
  1 23 revocation under this chapter.  The defendant shall not be

  1 31 not be granted by the department until the defendant installs
  1 32 the ignition interlock device devices.
  1 33    4.  Upon a plea or verdict of guilty of a third or

  2 15    Sec. 3.  Section 321J.25, subsection 4, Code Supplement
  2 16 1997, is amended by striking the subsection.  
  2 17                           EXPLANATION
  2 18    This bill contains various provisions relating to the
  2 19 operation of a motor vehicle while an individual is
  2 20 intoxicated.  It allows the department of transportation to
  2 21 retain records relating to arrests, convictions, and
  2 22 revocations until an individual has completed all court order
  2 23 requirements or other requirements for reinstatement of the
  2 24 license to operate a motor vehicle.  It provides language so
  2 25 that the requirement to install an ignition interlock device
  2 26 applies to all vehicles which are operated by a defendant, not
  2 27 just those owned by the defendant, when the defendant has
  2 28 completed the minimum period of revocation of license to
  2 29 operate a motor vehicle and the individual has sought a
  2 30 temporary restricted license.
  2 31    The bill also eliminates the requirement that the state
  2 32 department of transportation notify a juvenile of the benefits
  2 33 of attending a youthful offender substance abuse awareness
  2 34 program.
