     1  6 BASED UPON FRAUD.
     1  7    1.  If a person discovers a record of conviction
     1  8 for a scheduled violation under this chapter was
     1  9 entered by fraudulent use of the person's name or by
     1 10 use of other fraudulent identification, the person
     1 11 may, within one year of the date of the discovery of
     1 12 the conviction, submit a written application to the
     1 13 department to investigate the allegation.  The
     1 14 department may summarily reject the application as
     1 15 submitted, or proceed to investigate the application.
     1 16 If the department investigates the application, the
     1 17 department may either deny the application or if the
     1 18 department determines the allegation is warranted,
     1 19 approve the application.  If the department
     1 20 investigates the application the department shall also
     1 21 issue a report and findings with the decision of the
     1 22 department.  The rejection, approval, or denial of an
     1 23 application is not subject to contested case
     1 24 proceedings or further review as provided in chapter
     1 25 17A.  If the application is investigated, the
     1 26 department shall provide the applicant with a
     1 27 certified copy of the decision of the department.  If
     1 28 the department approves the application, the
     1 29 department shall also provide the applicant with a
     1 30 certified copy of the investigative report and
     1 31 findings.  The department shall also provide certified
     1 32 copies of the department's decision approving or
     1 33 denying the application together with the
     1 34 investigative report and findings to the appropriate
     1 35 prosecuting attorney in the city or county that
     1 36 prosecuted the scheduled violation, and to the
     1 37 district court in the county that prosecuted the
     1 38 scheduled violation.  The department may
     1 39 electronically provide copies of any decision
     1 40 approving or denying the application and the
     1 41 investigative report and findings, to the district
     1 42 court.
     1 43    2.  A person who discovers that a record of
     1 44 conviction for a scheduled violation under this
     1 45 chapter was entered by fraudulent use of the person's
     1 46 name or by use of other fraudulent identification, may
     1 47 bypass the application process in subsection 1, and
     1 48 move in district court to set aside the judgment of
     1 49 conviction within one year of discovery of the
     1 50 conviction.  An applicant with an approved application
     2  1 under subsection 1, shall also move in district court
     2  2 to set aside the judgment of conviction in order to
     2  3 have the department expunge or alter the records of
     2  4 the department or rescind or modify an administrative
     2  5 sanction.  If the district court grants the motion to
     2  6 set aside the judgment, the district court shall order
     2  7 the charging agency or official to modify the records
     2  8 of the agency or official to reflect the order setting
     2  9 aside the judgment.  The clerk of the district court
     2 10 shall provide the court order setting aside the
     2 11 judgment, either by regular mail or electronic means,
     2 12 to the charging agency or official, and the department
     2 13 of transportation.  The clerk of the district court
     2 14 shall also provide the applicant with a certified copy
     2 15 of the court order at no cost to the applicant.
     2 16    3.  Notwithstanding the department's approval of an
     2 17 application pursuant to subsection 1, the department
     2 18 shall not expunge or alter the records of the
     2 19 department or rescind or modify an administrative
     2 20 sanction unless the department receives an order from
     2 21 the district court setting aside the previous judgment
     2 22 of the court as provided in subsection 2.  Upon
     2 23 receiving a copy of an order from the district court
     2 24 setting aside the previous judgment of the court, the
     2 25 department shall expunge the record and shall rescind
     2 26 any administrative sanction imposed upon the applicant
     2 27 as a result of the judgment, unless the applicant is
     2 28 subject to sanctions for other reasons.  The
     2 29 department may impose a new sanction if expunging the
     2 30 judgment would result in a lesser or different
     2 31 sanction.
     2 32    4.  The department shall adopt rules pursuant to
     2 33 chapter 17A to implement this section.
     2 34    Sec.    .  Section 811.9, Code 2009, is amended to
     2 35 read as follows:
     2 36    811.9  FORFEITURE OF APPEARANCE BOND.
     2 37    Sections 811.6 through 811.8 shall not apply in a
     2 38 case where a simple misdemeanor is charged upon a
     2 39 uniform citation and complaint and where the defendant
     2 40 has submitted an unsecured appearance bond or has
     2 41 submitted bail in the form of cash, check, credit card
     2 42 as provided in section 805.14, or guaranteed arrest
     2 43 bond certificate as defined in section 321.1.  When a
     2 44 defendant fails to appear as required in such cases,
     2 45 the court, or the clerk of the district court, shall
     2 46 enter a judgment of forfeiture of the bond or bail.
     2 47 The judgment shall be final upon entry and shall not
     2 48 be set aside unless a conviction for a scheduled
     2 49 violation under chapter 321 was set aside under the
     2 50 procedures established in section 321.200A.>
