S.F. 381 Code 2023, are amended to read as follows: 1 b. Upon receipt of a statement of necessity, the department 2 shall issue the driver’s license provided the applicant is 3 otherwise eligible for issuance of the license. The fact that 4 the applicant resides at a distance less than one mile from the 5 applicant’s school of enrollment is prima facie evidence of 6 the nonexistence of necessity for the issuance of a license. 7 However, the distance between the applicant’s residence and 8 school of enrollment shall not be considered if the applicant 9 resides on a farm or is employed for compensation on a farm. 10 c. The school shall develop and adopt a policy establishing 11 the criteria that the school shall use to approve or deny 12 certification that a need exists for a license. The adopted 13 policy must require the school to approve certification that 14 a need exists for a license for a student who participates in 15 an extracurricular activity, resides on a farm, is employed 16 for compensation on a farm in this state, or is otherwise 17 employed. If the school is a public school, the policy 18 shall be developed and adopted by the school board. If the 19 school is an accredited nonpublic school, the policy shall be 20 developed and adopted according to procedures determined by the 21 authorities in charge of the accredited nonpublic school. 22 -2- SF 381 (3) 90 th/ns/mb 2/ 2
