EXPLANATION
12
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
13
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
14
This
bill
relates
to
driver’s
license
suspensions
and
15
revocations
for
operating-while-intoxicated
(OWI)
offenses.
16
The
bill
increases
the
driver’s
license
revocation
period
17
for
OWI
offenses.
For
a
first
OWI
offense
where
the
person
18
submitted
to
a
chemical
test,
the
bill
increases
the
driver’s
19
license
revocation
period
from
180
days
to
one
year.
For
20
a
first
OWI
offense
where
the
person
refused
to
submit
to
21
a
chemical
test,
the
bill
increases
the
driver’s
license
22
revocation
period
from
one
year
to
two
years.
For
a
second
23
OWI
offense
where
the
person
submitted
to
a
chemical
test,
the
24
bill
increases
the
driver’s
license
revocation
period
from
one
25
year
to
two
years.
For
a
second
OWI
offense
where
the
person
26
refused
to
submit
to
a
chemical
test,
the
bill
increases
the
27
driver’s
license
revocation
period
from
two
years
to
four
28
years.
For
a
third
or
subsequent
OWI
offense,
the
bill
strikes
29
the
driver’s
license
revocation
period
of
six
years
and
imposes
30
permanent
revocation.
For
an
OWI
offense
causing
death,
the
31
bill
strikes
the
driver’s
license
revocation
period
of

32
years
and
imposes
permanent
revocation.
Finally,
for
an
OWI
33
offense
causing

the
driver’s
34
license

one
year,

H.F.

to
the
revocation
period
for
the
underlying
OWI
offense,
and
1
imposes
permanent
revocation.
2
Under
current
law,
Code
section
321.210D
provides,
in
part,
3
that
if
a
person
is
charged
with
an
OWI
offense
causing
death,
4
the
clerk
of
the
district
court
shall
forward
notice
to
the
5
department
of
transportation
(DOT),
and
the
department
shall
6
notify
the
person
that
the
person’s
driver’s
license
will
be
7
suspended
effective
10
days
from
the
date
of
issuance
of
the
8
notice.
If
the
person
is
not
convicted,
the
clerk
of
the
9
district
court
shall
forward
a
notice
to
the
DOT,
and
the
10
department
shall
automatically
rescind
the
suspension
and
11
reinstate
the
person’s
driver’s
license
without
payment
of
any
12
charge
or
penalty.
The
bill
applies
these
procedures
to
a
13
person
charged
with
an
OWI
offense
causing
serious
injury.
14
The
bill
removes
OWI
offenses
causing
serious
injury
from
15
the
list
of
offenses
under
Code
section
321.555
for
which
16
a
person
can
be
designated
as
an
habitual
offender
for
the
17
purposes
of
driver’s
license
revocation.
18
The
bill
prohibits
the
DOT
from
issuing
a
temporary
19
restricted
license
under
Code
chapter
321J
to
a
person
whose
20
driver’s
license
has
been
permanently
revoked.
21
Under
current
law,
a
person
convicted
of
an
OWI
offense
22
causing
death
is
required
to
enroll,
attend,
and
satisfactorily
23
complete
a
course
for
drinking
drivers
designed
to
inform
the
24
person
about
drinking
and
driving
and
encourage
the
person
25
to
assess
the
person’s
own
drinking
and
driving
behavior
in
26
order
to
select
practical
alternatives.
The
bill
strikes
this
27
requirement.
