 1     Amend House File 266, as passed by the House, as
 2   follows:
 3     1.  By striking everything after the enacting
 4   clause and inserting the following:
 5     "Section 1.  Section 321.19, subsection 1,
 6   unnumbered paragraph 2, Code 1997, is amended to read
 7   as follows:
 8     The department shall furnish, on application, free
 9   of charge, distinguishing plates for vehicles thus
10   exempted, which plates except plates on Iowa highway
11   safety patrol vehicles shall bear the word "official"
12   and the department shall keep a separate record.
13   Registration plates issued for Iowa highway safety
14   patrol vehicles, except unmarked patrol vehicles,
15   shall bear two red stars on a yellow background, one
16   before and one following the registration number on
17   the plate, which registration number shall be the
18   officer's badge number.  Registration plates issued
19   for a county sheriff's patrol vehicles shall display
20   one seven-pointed gold star followed by the letter "S"
21   and the call number of the vehicle.  However, the
22   director of general services or the director of
23   transportation may order the issuance of regular
24   registration plates for any exempted vehicle used by
25   peace officers in the enforcement of the law, persons
26   enforcing chapter 124 and other laws relating to
27   controlled substances, persons in the department of
28   justice, the alcoholic beverages division of the
29   department of commerce, and the department of
30   inspections and appeals, and the department of revenue
31   and finance, who are regularly assigned to conduct
32   investigations which cannot reasonably be conducted
33   with a vehicle displaying "official" state
34   registration plates, and persons in the lottery
35   division of the department of revenue and finance
36   whose regularly assigned duties relating to security
37   or the carrying of lottery tickets cannot reasonably
38   be conducted with a vehicle displaying "official"
39   registration plates.  For purposes of sale of exempted
40   vehicles, the exempted governmental body, upon the
41   sale of the exempted vehicle, may issue for in-transit
42   purposes a pasteboard card bearing the words "Vehicle
43   in Transit", the name of the official body from which
44   the vehicle was purchased, together with the date of
45   the purchase plainly marked in at least one-inch
46   letters, and other information required by the
47   department.  The in-transit card is valid for use only
48   within forty-eight hours after the purchase date as
49   indicated on the bill of sale which shall be carried
50   by the driver.
