        321A.17  PROOF REQUIRED UPON CERTAIN CONVICTIONS.         1.  Whenever the department, under any law of this state, suspends      or revokes the license of any person upon receiving record of a      conviction or a forfeiture of bail or revokes the license of any      person pursuant to chapter 321J, the department shall also suspend      the registration for all motor vehicles registered in the name of the      person, except that the department shall not suspend the      registration, unless otherwise required by law, if the person has      previously given or immediately gives and thereafter maintains proof      of financial responsibility with respect to all motor vehicles      registered by the person.         2.  Such license and registration shall remain suspended or      revoked and shall not at any time thereafter be renewed nor shall any      license be thereafter issued to such person, nor shall any motor      vehicle be thereafter registered in the name of such person until      permitted under the motor vehicle laws of this state and not then      unless and until the person shall give and thereafter maintain proof      of financial responsibility.         3.  If a person is not licensed, but by final order or judgment is      convicted of or forfeits any bail or collateral deposited to secure      an appearance for trial for any offense requiring the suspension or      revocation of license, or for operating an unregistered motor vehicle      upon the highways, no license shall be thereafter issued to such      person and no motor vehicle shall continue to be registered or      thereafter be registered in the name of such person until the person      shall give and thereafter maintain proof of financial responsibility.         4.  An individual applying for a driver's license following a      period of suspension or revocation pursuant to a dispositional order      issued under section 232.52, subsection 2, paragraph "a", or      under section 321.180B, section 321.210, subsection 1, paragraph      "d", or section 321.210A, 321.213A, 321.213B, 321.216B, or      321.513, following a period of suspension under section 321.194, or      following a period of revocation pursuant to a court order issued      under section 901.5, subsection 10, or under section 321J.2A, is not      required to maintain proof of financial responsibility under this      section.         5.  This section does not apply to a commercial driver's licensee      who is merely disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle      under section 321.208 if the licensee's driver's license is not      suspended or revoked.         6.  This section does not apply to an individual whose      administrative license suspension under section 321.210D has been      rescinded and who is otherwise under no obligation to furnish proof      of financial responsibility.         7.  This section does not apply to an individual whose      administrative license revocation has been rescinded under section      321J.13, and who is otherwise under no obligation to furnish proof of      financial responsibility.         8.  This section does not apply to an individual whose privilege      to operate a motor vehicle has been suspended or revoked when the      period of suspension or revocation has ended and the individual      provides evidence satisfactory to the department that the individual      has established residency in another state.  The individual may not      apply for an Iowa driver's license for two years from the effective      date of the person's last suspension or revocation unless proof of      financial responsibility is filed with the department, as required by      this section.         9.  The registration suspension required under this section does      not apply to a motor vehicle awarded to an individual under an order      entered pursuant to section 598.21, if all of the following apply:         a.  The individual was the co-owner of the motor vehicle with      a spouse who is required to file and maintain proof of financial      responsibility.         b.  The individual is not otherwise required to file and      maintain proof of financial responsibility.         c.  The individual is not able to obtain title to the motor      vehicle in the individual's sole name due to a lien against the motor      vehicle that existed at the time the order was entered pursuant to      section 598.21.
