1 1 Section 1. NEW SECTION. 321J.2B PARENTAL AND SCHOOL
1 2 NOTIFICATION – PERSONS UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE.
1 3 1. A peace officer shall make a reasonable effort to
1 4 identify a person under the age of eighteen who violates
1 5 section 321J.2 or 321J.2A, and if the person is not referred
1 6 to juvenile court, the law enforcement agency of which the
1 7 peace officer is an employee shall make a reasonable attempt
1 8 to notify the person's custodial parent or legal guardian of
1 9 the violation, whether or not the person is taken into
1 10 custody, unless the officer has reasonable grounds to believe
1 11 that notification is not in the best interests of the person
1 12 or will endanger that person.
1 13 2. The peace officer shall also make a reasonable effort
1 14 to identify the elementary or secondary school which the
1 15 person attends if the person is enrolled in elementary or
1 16 secondary school and to notify the superintendent or the
1 17 superintendent's designee of the school which the person
1 18 attends, or the authorities in charge of the nonpublic school
1 19 which the person attends, of the violation. If the person is
1 20 taken into custody, the peace officer shall notify a juvenile
1 21 court officer who shall make a reasonable effort to identify
1 22 the elementary or secondary school the person attends, if any,
1 23 and to notify the superintendent of the school district or the
1 24 superintendent's designee, or the authorities in charge of the
1 25 nonpublic school, of the violation. A reasonable attempt to
1 26 notify the person includes, but is not limited to, a telephone
1 27 call or notice by first-class mail.
1 28 EXPLANATION
1 29 This bill creates a parental and school notification
1 30 requirement by a law enforcement officer when a child under
1 31 the age of 18 violates Code section 321J.2 or 321J.2A relating
1 32 to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated or with a blood
1 33 alcohol concentration at or above .02. The notice
1 34 requirements are identical to the parental and school notice
1 35 requirements under Code section 123.47B when a child under the
2 1 age of 18 is discovered to be in possession of alcohol.
