761—607.37 (321) Commercial driver’s license renewal. The department shall administer commercial driver’s license renewals as required by 49 CFR Section 383.73.
	   607.37(1) Licensee requirements. To renew a commercial driver’s license, the licensee shall apply at a driver’s license examination station and complete the following:
	      a.    	 Make a written self-certification of type of driving as required by rule 761—607.50(321) and provide a current medical examiner’s certificate if required.
	      b.    	 If the licensee has and wishes to retain a hazardous material endorsement, the licensee shall pass the test required in 49 CFR Section 383.121 and comply with the Transportation Security Administration security threat assessment standards specified in 49 CFR Sections 383.71(b)(8) and 383.141 for such endorsement. A lawful permanent resident of the United States must also provide the licensee’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services alien registration number.
	      c.    	 Provide proof of citizenship or lawful permanent residency and state of domicile as required by rule 761—607.15(321) and 49 CFR 383.71(d)(7). Proof of citizenship or lawful permanent residency is not required if the licensee provided such proof at initial issuance or a previous renewal or upgrade of the license and the department has a notation on the licensee’s record confirming that the required proof of legal citizenship or legal presence check was made and the date on which it was made.
	      d.    	 If the applicant is domiciled in a foreign jurisdiction and renewing a non-domiciled commercial driver’s license, the applicant must provide a document required by 49 CFR 383.71(f) at each renewal.
	   607.37(2) Early renewal. A valid commercial driver’s license may be renewed 30 days before the expiration date. If this is impractical, the department for good cause may renew a license earlier, not to exceed one year prior to the expiration date. The department may allow renewal earlier than one year prior to the expiration date for active military personnel being deployed due to actual or potential military conflict.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 321.186, 321.188 as amended by 2015 Iowa Acts, House File 635, section 53, and 321.196.
