1 1 Section 1. Section 321.194, subsection 1, paragraph b,
1 2 unnumbered paragraph 1, Code 1999, is amended to read as
1 3 follows:
1 4 Each application shall be accompanied by a statement from
1 5 the school board, superintendent, or principal, if authorized
1 6 by the superintendent, of the applicant's school. The
1 7 statement shall be upon a form provided by the department.
1 8 The school board, superintendent, or principal, if authorized
1 9 by the superintendent, shall certify that a need exists for
1 10 the license and that the board, superintendent, and a
1 11 principal authorized by the superintendent are not responsible
1 12 for actions of the applicant which pertain to the use of the
1 13 driver's license. The department of education shall adopt
1 14 rules establishing criteria for issuing a statement of
1 15 necessity. Upon receipt of a statement of necessity, the
1 16 department shall issue the driver's license. The fact that
1 17 the applicant resides at a distance less than one-half of one
1 18 mile from the applicant's schools of enrollment is prima facie
1 19 evidence of the nonexistence of necessity for the issuance of
1 20 a license. The driver's license shall not be issued for
1 21 purposes of attending a public school in a school district
1 22 other than either of the following:
1 23 EXPLANATION
1 24 This bill amends a provision in Code section 321.194
1 25 relating to statements of necessity from schools which
1 26 accompany applications for school driver's licenses filed with
1 27 the state department of transportation. Currently, Code
1 28 section 321.194 provides that a minor between the ages of 14
1 29 and 18 years may apply for and receive a school driver's
1 30 license upon certification of a special need by the school
1 31 board, superintendent, or principal of the applicant's school.
1 32 The bill provides that if the applicant lives less than one-
1 33 half of one mile from school, there is prima facie evidence
1 34 that such need does not exist. Currently, prima facie
1 35 evidence of such need does not exist if the applicant lives
2 1 less than one mile from school.
