         6.  Special minors' licenses.  Notwithstanding subsection 2,
      the fee for a driver's license issued to a minor under section
      321.194 or a restricted license issued to a minor under section

      restriction on a commercial driver's license is ten dollars.  Fees
      imposed under this subsection for endorsements or removal of
      restrictions are valid for the period of the license.  Upon renewal
      of a commercial driver's license, no fee is payable for retaining
      endorsements or the removal of the air brake restriction for those
      endorsements or restrictions which do not require the taking of
      either a knowledge or a driving skills test for renewal.

      reinstatement of a driver's license shall be twenty dollars for a

      privilege suspended under section 321.210, subsection 1, paragraph
      "c", shall be without fee.  The fee for reinstatement of the
      privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle after a period of
      disqualification shall be twenty dollars.
         9.  Upgrading a license class privilege -- fee adjustment.
         a.  If an applicant wishes to upgrade a license class
      privilege, the fee charged shall be prorated on full-year fee
      increments of the new license in accordance with rules adopted by the
      department.  The expiration date of the new license shall be the
      expiration date of the currently held driver's license.  The fee for
      a commercial driver's license endorsement, the removal of an air
      brake restriction, or a commercial driver's license instruction
      permit shall not be prorated.
         b.  As used in this subsection "to upgrade a license class
