A bill for an act relating to the driving privileges of persons under eighteen years of age, and making penalties applicable.
This bill amends Iowa laws to clarify how driving privileges are defined and regulated for minors under eighteen. It specifically updates the rules for restricted work licenses, allowing them for travel to and from employment or temporary care facilities while requiring employer verification. The legislation also establishes stricter penalties for violating these licenses, including suspension for one violation and revocation for two or more, along with a one-year waiting period before reapplying. Additionally, the bill sets a uniform fee of eight dollars for special minor's restricted licenses and work licenses issued to minors.
