A
person
who
is
issued
a
TRL
under
Code
section
11
321J.20
for
an
operating
while
intoxicated
violation
is
allowed
12
to
operate
a
motor
vehicle
in
any
manner
allowed
for
a
person
13
issued
a
valid
class
C

unless
otherwise
14
provided,
but
is
required
to
install
an
ignition
interlock
15
device
before

16
This
bill
authorizes
the

to
issue
a
TRL
to
a
person
17
whose
noncommercial
driver’s
license
is
suspended
or
revoked
18

if

the

with
the
required
fee
and
provides
proof
the
person
20
successfully
completed

21
The

strikes
the
specified
place

22
instead
makes
a
TRL
valid
for
the
person
to
operate
a

23
vehicle
in
any
manner
allowed
for
a
person
issued
a
valid

The

not
amend
the
prohibition
on
issuing
a
TRL
for
26
certain
violations
described
under
Code
section
321.215(1)(b)
27
or
the
eligibility
of
a
person
to
apply
for
a
TRL
for
certain
28
violations
that
would
otherwise
make
the
person
ineligible
for
29
a
TRL
in
cases
of
hardship.
30
The
bill
makes
conforming
changes
by
striking
requirements
31
for
a
person
who
receives
a
TRL
due
to
a
hardship
or
without
32
installing
an
ignition
interlock
device
because
the
person
has
33
a
medical
waiver
to
only
operate
a
motor
vehicle
in
accordance
34
with
the
specific
places
