HF 569 — Summary

Purpose and intent

HF 569 would establish mandatory license revocation for individuals convicted of speeding at very high speeds (100 mph or more detected). It adds an immediate or near-immediate transition from driving privileges to a revoked status and sets conditions for reinstatement, appeals, and administrative administration by the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Key provisions

  • Immediate and mandatory revocation for extreme speeding

    • The DOT must revoke the driver’s license of a person convicted of exceeding the speed limit with a detected speed of 100 mph or more.
    • The license revocation period is 30 days, and the person is ineligible for a temporary restricted license under existing provision 321.215.

  • Immediate notice and temporary license

    • A peace officer, on behalf of the DOT, can serve immediate notice of intention to revoke and of actual revocation for extreme speeding.
    • If immediate notice is served, the officer must take the driver’s license and issue a temporary license valid for 10 days.
    • The officer must promptly send the license to the DOT along with a certificate documenting the detected excessive speed.

  • Reinstatement and license application

    • Following revocation, the DOT may not grant a new license for one year from the revocation date unless another period is specified by law.
    • A person seeking a new license must apply and pay the required fees under Code section 321.191, including a $20 reinstatement fee.

  • Appeals

    • A person whose license is revoked under HF 569 may appeal the revocation in the same manner as a person suspected of OWI violations under Code section 321J.13 (hearing on revocation—appeal).

  • Administrative and statutory alignment

    • DOT is required to adopt administrative rules to administer the bill.
    • The bill includes conforming internal Code reference changes and eliminates a conflict related to temporary restricted licenses for second/subsequent reckless driving.

Affected parties and impacts

  • Drivers convicted of speeding with a detected speed of 100 mph or more would face mandatory 30-day license revocation with no temporary restricted license option.
  • Officers and law enforcement would implement immediate revocation procedures and issue temporary licenses for 10 days in applicable cases.
  • The DOT would administer revocations, reinstatements, and appeals, and would issue rules to implement the bill.
  • Individuals seeking reinstatement after revocation would pay standard license fees plus a $20 reinstatement fee and must wait one year before the DOT can issue a new license (unless law specifies otherwise).

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduction: February 24, 2025.
  • Referred to Public Safety: February 24, 2025; formally listed as April 3, 2025 action.
  • Effective processes include: immediate notice and revocation, 30-day revocation period, 10-day temporary license, one-year waiting period before reinstatement, and an appeal process mirroring OWI revocation procedures.

Notes

  • The bill ties to existing OWI processes for immediate license actions, applying a similar framework to extreme speeding offenses.
  • It makes related codified changes to avoid conflicts around temporary restricted licenses for reckless driving.
