ARC 1920C
EDUCATIONAL EXAMINERS BOARD[282]
Notice of Intended Action
Twenty-five interested persons, a governmental subdivision, an agency or association of 25 or more persons may demand an oral presentation hereon as provided in Iowa Code section 17A.4(1)“b.”
Notice is also given to the public that the Administrative Rules Review Committee may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this proposed action under section 17A.8(6) at a regular or special meeting where the public or interested persons may be heard.
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 272.2(1)“a,” the Board of Educational Examiners hereby gives Notice of Intended Action to amend Chapter 23, “Behind-the-Wheel Driving Instructor Authorization,” Iowa Administrative Code.
The proposed amendment allows holders of the driver’s education endorsement to maintain a behind-the-wheel authorization with classroom instruction authority. This amendment would be particularly beneficial to the holders of initial teaching licenses who teach driver’s education in the summer only, since this summer employment does not meet the experience requirement to move to a standard license, and since they do not have an unlimited number of renewals on their initial licenses. This amendment would also benefit holders of expired licenses who want to continue to teach driver’s education and maintain this authorization annually with relevant renewal training.
Any interested person may make written comments or suggestions on the proposed amendment before 4 p.m.	on Friday, April 10, 2015. Written comments and suggestions should be addressed to Kim Cunningham, Board Secretary, Board of Educational Examiners, at the address listed below, or sent by e-mail to kim.cunningham@iowa.gov, or by fax to (515)281-7669.
Any interested party or persons may present their views either orally or in writing at the public hearing that will be held Wednesday, April 8, 2015, at 1 p.m. in Room 3 Southwest, Third Floor, Grimes State Office Building, East 14th Street and Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa.
At the hearing, persons will be asked to give their names and addresses for the record and to confine their remarks to the subject of the proposed amendment. Persons who wish to make oral presentations at the public hearing may contact the Executive Director, Board of Educational Examiners, Grimes State Office Building, East 14th Street and Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50319-0147, or at (515)281-5849, prior to the date of the public hearing.
Any person who intends to attend the public hearing and requires special accommodations for specific needs, such as a sign language interpreter, should contact the office of the Executive Director at (515)281-5849.
This amendment is subject to waiver pursuant to 282—Chapter 6.
After analysis and review of this rule making, there is no anticipated impact on jobs.
This amendment is intended to implement Iowa Code section 272.2(1)“a.”
The following amendment is proposed.
	Amend rule 282—23.1(272,321) as follows:
282—23.1(272,321) Requirements. Applicants for the behind-the-wheel driving instructor authorization shall meet the following requirements:
	23.1(1) and 23.1(2) No change.
	23.1(3) Classroom instruction. To be eligible to provide classroom instruction, holders of the behind-the-wheel driving instructor authorization must additionally hold a valid or expired initial, standard, exchange, or master educator license with endorsement for driver education as set forth in 282—subrule 13.28(4).
