S.F. 506 upon a charge of driving a motor vehicle while the license of 1 the person was suspended, denied, revoked, or barred shall 2 extend the period of suspension, denial, revocation, or bar for 3 an additional like period, and the department shall not issue a 4 new license during the additional period. 5 Sec. 11. Section 811.2, subsection 1, Code 2021, is amended 6 by adding the following new paragraph: 7 NEW PARAGRAPH . c. Any bailable defendant who is charged 8 with a third or subsequent offense of operating while 9 intoxicated under section 321J.2, and who is ordered released 10 shall be required, as a condition of that release, to install 11 an ignition interlock device pursuant to section 321J.20. The 12 defendant shall provide proof to the court within thirty days 13 after being released from custody that the ignition interlock 14 device was properly installed. 15 EXPLANATION 16 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 17 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 18 Under current law, a record for operating while intoxicated 19 (OWI) in violation of Code section 321J.2 is required to be 20 deleted from the department of transportation (DOT) operating 21 records 12 years after the date of conviction or the effective 22 date of a driver’s license revocation. Deleted records 23 cannot be considered as a prior conviction for the purpose of 24 determining whether a current OWI violation is considered a 25 second, third, or subsequent offense by a court. 26 This bill prohibits the DOT from deleting any record of a 27 person’s conviction or license revocation due to OWI violations 28 while the person is alive. The bill also provides that a 29 prior conviction for reckless driving and public intoxication 30 following an OWI arrest is considered a prior OWI conviction. 31 Under current law, a person whose license is revoked for OWI 32 is required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) prior 33 to receiving a temporary restricted license (TRL) from the DOT. 34 The IID must be installed on every vehicle owned or operated 35 -14- LSB 2711XS (6) 89 th/ns 14/ 16
S.F. 506 by the person. 1 Current law requires persons convicted of a second or 2 subsequent OWI offense to install an IID for a minimum of one 3 year prior to being eligible for reinstatement of a driver’s 4 license other than a TRL. 5 The bill adds compliance based removal (CBR) provisions 6 to the IID requirements. Under the bill, a person convicted 7 of a third or subsequent OWI is required to complete the CBR 8 requirements. Under CBR, a person’s requirement to have an 9 IID installed can be extended if the person violates certain 10 conditions of the IID use requirements. The bill allows a 11 court to extend the IID requirements beyond the maximum time of 12 possible incarceration under CBR if violations occur. 13 The bill adds a requirement that new IIDs contain a camera 14 to take still photographs when the device prompts a person to 15 submit a breath sample. The photos can be used to confirm or 16 dispute a violation. 17 The DOT is required to suspend the registration of any 18 vehicle owned by a person subject to IID requirements who fails 19 to submit proof that an IID was installed on the vehicle. 20 However, a family member of the vehicle owner can submit an 21 affidavit to the DOT to waive the suspension under certain 22 circumstances. If a family member provides an affidavit under 23 the requirements of the bill but then allows the vehicle owner 24 to use the motor vehicle the family member is guilty of a 25 simple misdemeanor.
