Read the official explanation
This bill prohibits a county from employing a person to operate a motor grader to maintain secondary roads unless the person completes motor grader operator training if the person has fewer than five years of experience. Motor grader operator training must include at least six hours of training in a classroom setting focusing on ideal roadway profile designs and application, proper grading techniques, and standard roadway and shoulder maintenance methods. Motor grader operator training must also include at least six hours of training behind the wheel of a motor grader under the supervision of an experienced motor grader operator. Under the bill, motor grader operator training must be provided by the Iowa local technical assistance program offered by the institute for transportation of the Iowa state university of science and technology, or by a county if the training is substantially similar.
