Senator Costello, the senator from Mills, described the bill as providing an easier path for people who recently left the military (within two years) and have a clean driving record to obtain an Iowa driver's license. Under the bill as described on the floor, applicants would not be required to take a driving skills test or a driver's education course but would still be required to pass vision and written tests.
Senator Costello said the bill "doesn't affect a lot of people, but ... for those people it does affect make it much easier for them to get their licence." There was no extended floor debate and the senator moved the bill for final reading and passage. The chamber proceeded with the required readings and a roll call. The chair announced the results: "Those voting aye 47, those voting nay 0." The bill was declared to have passed the Senate and the title agreed to.
