  1 12 amended to read as follows:
  1 13    5.  Upon certification, subject to penalty of perjury, by
  1 14 the peace officer that there existed reasonable grounds to
  1 15 believe that the person had been operating a motor vehicle in

  1 19 chemical testing and the test results indicated an alcohol
  1 20 concentration as defined in section 321J.1 of .02 or more but
  1 21 less than .10 .08, the department shall revoke the person's
  1 22 driver's license or operating privilege for a period of sixty
  1 23 days if the person has had no previous revocation under this
  1 24 chapter, and for a period of ninety days if the person has had

  1 28                           EXPLANATION
  1 29    This bill changes the limit for blood alcohol concentration
  1 30 (BAC) while driving from .10 BAC to .08 BAC.  Under this bill,
  1 31 a person who drives with .08 BAC or higher would violate Code
  1 32 section 321J.2, the operating while intoxicated statute.
  1 33    This bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code
  1 34 section 25B.3.  This bill makes inapplicable Code section
  1 35 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political
  2  1 subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for
  2  2 the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified.
  2  3 Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with
  2  4 any state mandate included in this bill.
