A bill for an act relating to mandatory revocation of driver’s licenses, including immediate revocation for certain excessive speed violations.
HF 40 mandates a 30-day driver's license revocation for Iowa drivers convicted of exceeding 100 miles per hour. It specifically requires immediate license seizure by peace officers when a driver is cited for 100+ mph speeding, with a temporary 10-day license issued pending formal revocation. The bill prohibits temporary restricted licenses during this 30-day revocation period and applies to first-time offenses of this speed violation. This change expands mandatory revocation to include high-speed offenses beyond existing provisions for reckless driving or drag racing.
