An MVE officer is also 31   authorized to inspect and copy motor carrier records required 32   by federal law.

  S.F. 513   RETIREMENT AND LONGEVITY PAY. DOT employees are members 1   of, and receive benefits from, the Iowa public employees 2   retirement system (IPERS) (Code chapter 97B).

A transferred MVE 9   officer who has fewer than 10 years of membership service in 10   IPERS will become a member of the peace officers retirement, 11   accident, and disability system. A person who is employed 12   by DOT and retains limited authority of a peace officer 13   pursuant to the bill remains a member of IPERS and continues 14   to be considered an employee in a protection occupation. A 15   transferred MVE officer retains all rights to longevity pay. 16   REMAINING DOT OFFICERS.
