The Iowa law enforcement academy shall 1 8 determine standards for training and certification, conduct 1 9 training, and may approve alternative training programswhich1 10 that satisfy the academy's standards for training and 1 11 certification. The owner of the salvage vehicle shall make 1 12 the vehicle available for examination at a time and location 1 13 designated by the peace officer doing the examination. The 1 14 owner may obtain a permit to drive the vehicle to and from the 1 15 examination location by submitting a repair affidavit to the 1 16 agency performing the examination stating that the vehicle is 1 17 reasonably safe for operation and listing the repairs which 1 18 have been made to the vehicle. The owner must be present for 1 19 the examination and have available for inspection the salvage 1 20 title, bills of sale for all essential parts changed, and the 1 21 repair affidavit. The examination shall be for the purposes 1 22 of determining whether the vehicle or repair components have 1 23 been stolen. The examination is not a safety inspection and a 1 24 signed salvage theft examination certificate shall not be 1 25 construed by any court of law to be a certification that the 1 26 vehicle is safe to be operated. There shall be no cause of 1 27 action against the peace officer or the agency conducting the 1 28 examination or the county treasurer for failure to discover or 1 29 note safety defects. If the vehicle passes the theft 1 30 examination, the peace officer shall indicate that the vehicle 1 31 passed examination on the salvage theft examination 1 32 certificate. The permit and salvage theft examination 1 33 certificate shall be on controlled forms prescribed and 1 34 furnished by the department. The owner shall pay a fee of 1 35thirtyfifty dollars upon completion of the examination. The 2 1 agency performing the examinations shall retaintwentyforty 2 2 dollars of the fee and shall pay five dollars of the fee to 2 3 the department and five dollars of the fee to the treasurer of 2 4 state for deposit in the general fund of the state. Moneys 2 5 deposited to the general fund under this paragraph are subject 2 6 to the requirements of section 8.60 and shall be used by the 2 7 Iowa law enforcement academy to provide for the special 2 8 training, certification, and recertification of officers as 2 9 required by this subsection. 2 10 EXPLANATION 2 11 This bill increases the fee an owner of a salvage vehicle 2 12 must pay for a salvage theft examination conducted by a 2 13 specially certified peace officer from $30 to $50. The agency 2 14 performing the examination is to keep $40 of the fee rather 2 15 than $20. The Code provides that the owner of a salvage 2 16 vehicle must present a properly executed salvage theft 2 17 examination certificate showing that the vehicle and none of 2 18 its repair components have been stolen in order to receive a 2 19 regular certificate of title. 2 20 LSB 2266HH 80 2 21 dea/pj/5
