1. A county certified to issue commercial driver’s licenses under section 321M.6 may charge any of the following fees to a commercial driver’s license applicant related to the administration of a driving skills test: a. A fee not to exceed twenty-five dollars to administer the pre-trip vehicle inspection test. b. A fee not to exceed twenty-five dollars to administer the basic vehicle control skills test. c. A fee not to exceed twenty-five dollars to administer the on-road driving skills test. 2. Fees authorized under this section may be assessed for each test and any fees collected are nonrefundable. The fee to administer the pre-trip vehicle inspection test is due at the time the appointment is scheduled. All other fees are due upon the completion of the test for which the fee was assessed. If the applicant fails to appear for the pre-trip vehicle inspection test, the appointment shall be canceled and no other fees shall be due. If the applicant fails one part of the driving skills test, no fees shall be due for subsequent parts of the test. A county shall not charge a fee under this section, other than the fee to administer the pre-trip vehicle inspection test, to an applicant who is an employee or volunteer of a government agency, as defined in section 553.3, and who provides reasonable proof that a commercial driver’s license is necessary for the applicant’s employment or volunteer duties for the government agency, or that the fee is paid by the government agency. This section shall not be construed to prohibit an applicant from scheduling a new test appointment upon payment of a new fee. 3. All fees authorized in this section are in addition to any other fees imposed by law. 2021 Acts, ch 135, §6, 8 Referred to in §321.187, 321M.9 Thu Dec 11 19:44:50 2025 Iowa Code 2026, Section 321M.6A (4, 0)
