6 24 a nonoperator's identification card or a driver's license

6 31 all or a portion of the fees to an applicant for a renewal or
6 32 a duplicate if the department determines that the service
6 33 standard for timely issuance has not been met or an error on
6 34 the license or identification card requires the applicant to
6 35 return to the driver's license station. The decision of the
7 1 department not to issue a refund is final and not subject to
7 2 review pursuant to the provisions of the Iowa administrative
7 3 procedure Act in chapter 17A.
7 4 Sec. 6. TEMPORARY TRANSFER OF RISE FUND MONEYS.
7 5 Notwithstanding provisions to the contrary in chapter 315, if

7 9 inadequate to meet anticipated road construction costs which
7 10 arise during the period beginning on the effective date of
7 11 this Act through June 30, 2001, the commission may authorize
7 12 the temporary transfer of funds from the revitalize Iowa's
7 13 sound economy (RISE) fund to the primary road fund.
7 14 Transferred funds shall be repaid to the RISE fund within six
7 15 months of transfer. The commission shall manage the RISE fund
7 16 to ensure that funds will be available to meet contract
7 17 obligations on approved RISE projects.
