(SUCCESSOR TO SSB 3193)

A BILL FOR

An Act relating to the period of revocation of a special minor’s driver’s license following conviction for two or more motor vehicle violations.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 321.194, subsection 2, Code 2014, is amended to read as follows:
   2.  Suspension and revocation.  A driver’s license issued under this section is subject to suspension or revocation for the same reasons and in the same manner as suspension or revocation of any other driver’s license. The department may also suspend a driver’s license issued under this section upon receiving satisfactory evidence that the licensee has violated the restrictions of the license or has been involved in one or more accidents chargeable to the licensee. The department may suspend a driver’s license issued under this section upon receiving a record of the licensee’s conviction for one violation. The department shall revoke the license upon receiving a record of conviction for two or more violations of a law of this state or a city ordinance regulating the operation of motor vehicles on highways other than parking violations as defined in section 321.210. After a person licensed under this section receives two or more convictions which require revocation of the person’s license under this section, the department shall not grant an application for a new driver’s license until the expiration of one year thirty days.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with

the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Under current law, when a person with a special minor’s license is convicted of two or more motor vehicle violations other than parking violations, the department of transportation is required to revoke the person’s license, and the person is not eligible to apply for another driver’s license for one year. This bill shortens the waiting period before the person is eligible to apply for a driver’s license to 30 days.
