1 1 Section 1. Section 321.194, subsection 1, unnumbered
1 2 paragraph 1, Code 1999, is amended to read as follows:
1 3 Upon certification of a special need by the authorities in
1 4 charge of the nonpublic school or the school board,
1 5 superintendent of the applicant's school, or principal, if
1 6 authorized by the superintendent, the department may issue a
1 7 class C or M driver's license to a person between the ages of
1 8 fourteen and eighteen years whose driving privileges have not
1 9 been suspended, revoked, or barred under this chapter or
1 10 chapter 321J during, and who has not been convicted of a
1 11 moving traffic violation or involved in a motor vehicle
1 12 accident for, the six-month period immediately preceding the
1 13 application for the special minor's license and who has
1 14 successfully completed an approved driver education course.
1 15 However, the completion of a course is not required if the
1 16 applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the department
1 17 that completion of the course would impose a hardship upon the
1 18 applicant. The department shall adopt rules defining the term
1 19 "hardship" and establish procedures for the demonstration and
1 20 determination of when completion of the course would impose a
1 21 hardship upon an applicant.
1 22 Sec. 2. Section 321.194, subsection 1, paragraph b,
1 23 unnumbered paragraph 1, Code 1999, is amended to read as
1 24 follows:
1 25 Each application shall be accompanied by a statement from
1 26 the authorities in charge of the nonpublic school or the
1 27 school board, superintendent, or principal, if authorized by
1 28 the superintendent, of the applicant's school. The statement
1 29 shall be upon a form provided by the department. The
1 30 authorities in charge of the nonpublic school or the school
1 31 board, superintendent, or principal, if authorized by the
1 32 superintendent, shall certify that a need exists for the
1 33 license and that the authorities in charge of the nonpublic
1 34 school or the board, superintendent, and a principal
1 35 authorized by the superintendent are not responsible for
2 1 actions of the applicant which pertain to the use of the
2 2 driver's license. The department of education shall adopt
2 3 rules establishing criteria for issuing a statement of
2 4 necessity. Upon receipt of a statement of necessity, the
2 5 department shall issue the driver's license. The fact that
2 6 the applicant resides at a distance less than one mile from
2 7 the applicant's schools of enrollment is prima facie evidence
2 8 of the nonexistence of necessity for the issuance of a
2 9 license. The driver's license shall not be issued for
2 10 purposes of attending a public school in a school district
2 11 other than either of the following:
2 12 Sec. 3. Section 321.194, Code 1999, is amended by adding

2 16 department of education or the state board of regents and a

2 18 education or the state board of regents.
