S.F. 516 The amendment to Code section 724.17 is in response to State 1 v. Downey, (Iowa Supreme Court No. 15-1585) relating to an 2 application for a permit to acquire pistols and revolvers. 3 For purposes of completing the application and in addition to 4 the requirements of the application including the applicant’s 5 full name, driver’s license or nonoperator’s identification 6 card number, residence, and date and place of birth, the bill 7 requires that such an application for a permit to acquire 8 include whether the applicant is able to meet the criteria 9 specified in Code section 724.15 (requirements for issuance of 10 permit to acquire pistols or revolvers). Under current law and 11 the bill, an applicant who knowingly makes a false statement 12 of material fact on the application for a permit to acquire 13 pistols and revolvers or who submits what the applicant knows 14 to be any materially falsified or forged documentation in 15 connection with such an application commits a class “D” felony. 16 The definition of “peace officer” in Code section 724.2A, 17 with respect to the carrying of weapons under Code section 18 724.4, is amended to apply to peace officers whether certified 19 or awaiting certification. 20 The descriptions of intoxication in Code sections 724.4C 21 (carrying of firearms), 724.22 (while supervising a minor in 22 possession of a pistol or revolver), and 726.6 (commission of 23 child endangerment while so supervising a minor) are amended 24 to specify that the conditions of intoxication are set out in 25 Code section 321J.2(1)(a),(b), or (c), which relate to the 26 presence of alcohol or drugs in a person and do not relate to 27 the condition of operating a motor vehicle. 28 Two mostly duplicative provisions are contained in House 29 File 517 that relate to the awarding of court costs and 30 attorney fees with regard to disputes in the issuance of 31 permits to carry and to acquire. The second provision in 32 section 27 of House File 517 is more complete, including 33 withdrawals of appeals by applicants. The first more 34 incomplete provision of the two is repealed. 35 -25- LSB 2689SV (3) 87 tm/rn 25/ 26
S.F. 516 Two sections of House File 517 amend Code section 724.22 1 relating to the supervised possession of a pistol or revolver 2 by a person under the age of 21. However, the immediate 3 effective date provision of the bill only recognizes that 4 one section of the bill amends Code section 724.22. Section 5 29 of the bill relates to civil liability and the commission 6 of child endangerment by a person supervising a person 7 under the age of 21. The amendment makes certain that all 8 amendments in House File 517 affecting Code sections 724.22 9 (supervision, liability, and child endangerment) and 726.6 10 (child endangerment) take effect upon the enactment of the bill 11 and apply retroactively to April 13, 2017. 12 VAPOR AND ALTERNATIVE NICOTINE PRODUCTS —— DELIVERY SALES 13 —— TAX. The bill regulates the delivery sale, as defined in 14 the bill, of alternative nicotine products and vapor products 15 by sellers within and without the state through a permitting 16 process for retailers making delivery sales and through age 17 verification requirements. The bill also subjects the delivery 18 sale of alternative nicotine products and vapor products to 19 sales and use tax. 20 BALLOT ARRANGEMENT FOR CERTAIN PARTISAN OFFICES. The bill 21 relates to the arrangement of election ballots for certain 22 partisan offices. Under the bill, a county commissioner is 23 required to arrange the ballot so that the candidates of 24 each political party for most partisan offices appearing on 25 the ballot appear in descending order so that the candidates 26 of the political party whose registered voters voted in the 27 greatest number in the commissioner’s county at the preceding 28 gubernatorial election appear first on the ballot, and the 29 candidates of the political party whose registered voters voted 30 in the next greatest number in the commissioner’s county at 31 such election appear next on the ballot, and continuing in 32 descending order in the same manner. 33 -26- LSB 2689SV (3) 87 tm/rn 26/ 26
