Iowa Admin. Code r. 761-615.7 - Suspension or denial for incapability
A person who is physically or mentally incapable of safely operating a motor vehicle is subject to license suspension or denial by the department.
(1) Suspension or denial
for incapability may be based on one or more of the following:
a. Receipt of a medical report or vision
report stating that the person is not physically or mentally capable of safely
operating a motor vehicle.
b.
Failure of the person to appear for a required reexamination or failure to
submit requested information within the specified time.
c. Ineligibility for licensing under Iowa
Code sections 321.177(4)
through 321.177(7).
(2) A suspension or denial under this rule
will remain in effect until the department receives satisfactory evidence that
the licensee has been restored to capability.
(3) A person whose license has been suspended
or denied for incapability may be eligible for a special noncommercial
instruction permit under rule
761-602.21 (321).
(4) A person who has a valid Iowa license
that would otherwise be suspended for incapability shall, in lieu of a
suspension, be denied further licensing if there is less than 30 days' validity
on the license.
a. The denial will take effect
when the license is no longer valid.
b. The license shall be surrendered to the
department. The department shall issue a temporary driving permit that allows
the person to drive until the effective date of the denial.
(5) If a person who is denied
licensing for incapability does not have a valid Iowa license, the department
may refuse orally to issue a license, effective immediately, or may deny
licensing in writing, effective on the date the denial notice is served.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 321.177, 321.210, 321.212 and 321.216.
