Upon revoking 35 -4- LSB 5381SV (2) 91 th/ns 4/ 8

S.F. 2288 a driver’s license, the DOT is prohibited from granting an 1 application for a new license until the expiration of one year 2 after the revocation, unless another period is specified by 3 law. A person whose driver’s license was revoked must apply 4 for a new license and pay the required fees under Code section 5 321.191, including a $20 reinstatement fee. 6 The bill requires the DOT to revoke the driver’s license 7 of a person who is convicted of exceeding a speed limit with 8 a detected speed of 100 miles per hour (MPH) or more. The 9 driver’s license must be revoked for 90 days and the person 10 is ineligible for a temporary restricted license under Code 11 section 321.215. 12 The bill authorizes a peace officer, on behalf of the 13 DOT, to serve immediate notice of intention to revoke and of 14 revocation on a person cited for exceeding a speed limit with 15 a detected speed of 100 MPH or more. If the peace officer 16 serves immediate notice, the peace officer is required to 17 take the Iowa driver’s license of the person and issue a 18 temporary license effective for 10 days. The peace officer 19 must immediately send the person’s license to the DOT along 20 with the officer’s certificate indicating the person’s detected 21 excessive speed. This process exists under current law for 22 persons who refuse to submit to chemical testing after a 23 suspected operating-while-intoxicated (OWI) violation (Code 24 section 321J.9). A person whose driver’s license is revoked 25 under the bill may appeal the revocation in the manner provided 26 to a person suspected of violating Code section 321J.2 (OWI) 27 as provided in Code section 321J.13 (hearing on revocation —— 28 appeal). 29 The DOT is required to adopt administrative rules to 30 administer the mandatory license revocation provisions of the 31 bill. 32 The bill makes conforming internal Code reference changes, 33 eliminates a conflict regarding the issuance of a temporary 34 restricted license for second and subsequent reckless driving 35 -5- LSB 5381SV (2) 91 th/ns 5/ 8

S.F. 2288 violations, and strikes certain references to “conviction” 1 and “forfeiture of bail not vacated” in Code section 321.209 2 to reduce duplication. When used in Code chapter 321 (motor 3 vehicles and law of the road), “conviction” is defined to 4 mean a final conviction, including but not limited to a plea 5 of guilty or nolo contendere accepted by the court, a final 6 administrative ruling or determination, or an unvacated 7 forfeiture of bail or collateral deposited to secure a person’s 8 appearance in court. 9 Under current law, a person who drives a vehicle in such 10 manner as to indicate either a willful or a wanton disregard 11 for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless 12 driving, in violation of Code section 321.277. A person 13 convicted for reckless driving commits a simple misdemeanor. 14 A simple misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more 15 than 30 days and a fine of at least $105 but not more than $855. 16 The bill provides that exceeding the speed limit by 25 MPH or 17 more is reckless driving. 18 By operation of law, a person who drives recklessly in 19 violation of Code section 321.277, as amended by the bill, 20 commits a class “C” felony if the violation unintentionally 21 causes the death of another, and commits a class “D” felony 22 if the violation unintentionally causes a serious injury (see 23 Code section 707.6A —— homicide or serious injury by vehicle). 24 Under current law, Code section 707.6A also applies if a 25 person, other than a member of a public safety agency, exceeds 26 the posted speed limit by 25 MPH or more and unintentionally 27 causes death or serious injury, if the speeding violation is 28 the proximate cause of the death or injury. 29 A class “C” felony is punishable by confinement for no more 30 than 10 years and a fine of at least $1,370 but not more than 31 $13,660. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for 32 no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not 33 more than $10,245. 34 Under current law, Code section 321.288 requires a person 35 -6- LSB 5381SV (2) 91 th/ns 6/ 8

The scheduled fine for a violation of Code section 10 321.288 is $135. Code section 321.482A sets forth additional 11 penalties applicable when a person is convicted of operating 12 a motor vehicle in violation of certain Code sections in Code 13 chapter 321 (motor vehicles and law of the road) if such 14 violation causes serious injury to or the death of another 15 person. 16 The bill adds Code section 321.288 to the list of violations 17 subject to additional penalties under Code section 321.482A. 18 When a person is convicted of a violation causing serious 19 injury, the additional penalties include a fine of $500 or 20 suspension of the violator’s driver’s license or operating 21 privileges for not more than 90 days, or both. When a person 22 is convicted of a violation causing death, the additional 23 penalties include a fine of $1,000 or suspension of the 24 violator’s driver’s license or operating privileges for not 25 more than 180 days, or both. 26 Under current law, a person who operates a motor vehicle 27 in excess of a speed limit under Code section 321.236(5, 28 11) (public parks and alleys), Code section 321.285 (speed 29 restrictions generally), Code section 321.383(5) (implements of 30 husbandry), Code section 321O.5(1) (personal delivery devices), 31 or Code section 461A.36 (state parks and preserves), commits a 32 simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine that varies 33 depending on the excessive speed. The fine ranges from $30 for 34 a speed in excess of the limit by not more than 5 MPH to $135 35 -7- LSB 5381SV (2) 91 th/ns 7/ 8

S.F. 2288 plus $5 for each MPH of excessive speed over 20 MPH over the 1 limit. 2 The bill increases the scheduled fine for excessive speed 3 over 20 MPH over the limit to $285 plus $5 for each MPH of 4 excessive speed over 20 MPH over the limit. 5 The bill applies on and after March 1, 2027, or the 6 publication date of the issue of the Iowa administrative 7 bulletin that includes a statement by the director of 8 transportation that the applicable phase of the DOT’s new 9 records system is implemented, whichever is earlier.
