Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

1. A county shall be authorized to issue commercial driver's licenses if certified to do so by the department.

2. The department shall certify the commercial driver's license issuance in a county authorized to issue licenses pursuant to section 321M.3 if all of the following conditions are met:

a. The driving skills test is the same as that which would otherwise be administered by the state.

b. The county examiner contractually agrees to comply with the requirements of 49 C.F.R. § 383.75, as adopted by rule by the department.

c. The department provides supervision over the issuance of commercial driver's licenses, including the administration of written and driving skills tests by the office of the county treasurer. However, the failure of the department to provide appropriate supervision shall not alone be used as a reason to deny certification.

d. The county otherwise complies with the procedures for issuance of commercial driver's licenses as provided in chapter 321.

3. If a county fails to meet the standards for certification under this section, and fails to correct deficiencies according to the department's operating standards, the county's right to issue commercial driver's licenses shall be terminated, and the county shall cease issuing commercial driver's licenses. Procedures and conditions for recertification shall be addressed in the operating standards for the department.

4. The department is not obligated to provide service in a county for issuance of commercial driver's licenses if the county fails to meet certification standards under this section.
