This bill mandates that the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) include specific information in its electronic database regarding drivers who have been required or ordered to complete remedial driver improvement actions, such as driver improvement education courses, following an arrest, citation, conviction, or accident. The database will indicate whether the driver has completed the required actions. Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a person is ordered by a court to complete such actions, the district court clerk must forward a copy of the order to the DOT within ten days and also notify the DOT within ten days of the person's completion of the action.
The bill introduces new legal language to ensure that the DOT is informed promptly about court orders related to driver improvement actions, thereby enhancing the tracking of driver compliance and safety measures. This aligns with existing laws that require remedial actions for certain driving violations, ensuring that the DOT has up-to-date information on drivers' compliance with court-ordered programs.
