This bill amends Iowa's Code regarding the mandatory revocation of drivers' licenses, specifically addressing excessive speed violations. It establishes that the Department of Transportation (DOT) must revoke a driver's license for 30 days if the individual is convicted of exceeding a speed limit with a detected speed of 100 miles per hour or more. The bill allows peace officers to serve immediate notice of revocation and take the driver's license on the spot, issuing a temporary license valid for 10 days. Additionally, it provides a process for appealing the revocation similar to that for operating while intoxicated (OWI) violations.

The bill also makes several changes to existing law, including the removal of certain offenses from the list that triggers mandatory revocation and the addition of new provisions related to excessive speed. It clarifies that individuals whose licenses are revoked under the new speed provision are ineligible for a temporary restricted license. Furthermore, the DOT is tasked with adopting rules to implement these changes, and the bill includes various conforming amendments to ensure consistency within the Code.
