  1  1    Section 1.  Section 321.34, subsection 14, Code 2016, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    14.  Persons with disabilities special plates.  An owner
  1  4 referred to in subsection 12 or an owner of a trailer used to
  1  5 transport a wheelchair who is a person with a disability, or
  1  6 who is the parent or guardian of a child who resides with the
  1  7 parent or guardian owner and who is a person with a disability,
  1  8 as defined in section 321L.1, or a trustee, if the owner is
  1  9 a trust and a current trust beneficiary permitted to operate
  1 10 the motor vehicle or trailer, as specified in the trust
  1 11 agreement or the certification of trust or as authorized by
  1 12 the trustee, is a person with a disability, may, upon written
  1 13 application to the department, order special registration
  1 14 plates with a persons with disabilities processed emblem
  1 15 designed by the department bearing the international symbol of
  1 16 accessibility. The special registration plates with a persons
  1 17 with disabilities processed emblem shall only be issued if the
  1 18 application is accompanied with a statement from a physician
  1 19 licensed under chapter 148 or 149, a physician assistant
  1 20 licensed under chapter 148C, an advanced registered nurse
  1 21 practitioner licensed under chapter 152, or a chiropractor
  1 22 licensed under chapter 151, written on the physician's,
  1 23 physician assistant's, nurse practitioner's, or chiropractor's
  1 24 stationery, stating the nature of the applicant's, or the
  1 25 applicant's child's, or the current trust beneficiary's
  1 26  disability and such additional information as required by rules
  1 27 adopted by the department, including proof of residency of a
  1 28 child who is a person with a disability, where applicable. If
  1 29 the application is approved by the department, the special
  1 30 registration plates with a persons with disabilities processed
  1 31 emblem shall be issued to the applicant. There shall be no
  1 32 fee in addition to the regular annual registration fee for the
  1 33 special registration plates with a persons with disabilities
  1 34 processed emblem. The authorization for special registration
  1 35 plates with a persons with disabilities processed emblem shall
  2  1 not be renewed without the applicant furnishing evidence to
  2  2 the department that the owner of the vehicle, or the owner's
  2  3 child, or the current trust beneficiary is still a person
  2  4 with a disability as defined in section 321L.1. An owner
  2  5 who has a child who is a person with a disability shall
  2  6 provide satisfactory evidence to the department that the
  2  7 child with a disability continues to reside with the owner.
  2  8 The registration plates with a persons with disabilities
  2  9 processed emblem shall be surrendered in exchange for regular
  2 10 registration plates as provided in subsection 12 when the owner
  2 11 of the vehicle, or the owner's child, or the current trust
  2 12 beneficiary no longer qualifies as a person with a disability
  2 13 as defined in section 321L.1 or when the owner's child who is a
  2 14 person with a disability no longer resides with the owner.  For
  2 15 the purpose of this subsection, "person with a disability" means
  2 16 as defined in section 321L.1.
