  1 32                           EXPLANATION
  1 33    This bill amends Code section 321J.2 relating to operating
  1 34 while intoxicated offenses (OWI), to provide that a blood
  1 35 alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .08 or more shall
  2  1 constitute a per se OWI violation for second and subsequent
  2  2 offenses.  First offenses shall continue to use a .10 BAC
  2  3 level for per se OWI offenses.  The bill also makes technical
  2  4 changes to other sections to reflect this change.
  2  5    The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code
  2  6 section 25B.3.  This bill makes inapplicable Code section
  2  7 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political
  2  8 subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for
  2  9 the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified.
  2 10 Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with
  2 11 any state mandate included in this bill.
