        232.45A  WAIVER TO AND CONVICTION BY DISTRICT COURT --
      PROCESSING.
         1.  Once jurisdiction over a child has been waived by the juvenile
      court as provided in section 232.45, for the alleged commission of a
      felony, and once a conviction is entered by the district court, for
      all other offenses, the clerk of the juvenile court shall immediately
      send a certified copy of the findings required by section 232.45,
      subsection 10, and the judgment of conviction, as applicable, to the
      department of public safety.  The department shall maintain a file on
      each child who has previously been waived to or waived to and
      convicted by the district court in a prosecution as an adult.  The
      file shall be accessible by law enforcement officers on a twenty-four
      hour per day basis.
         2.  Once a child sixteen years of age or older has been waived to
      and convicted of an aggravated misdemeanor or a felony in the
      district court, all criminal proceedings against the child for any
      aggravated misdemeanor or felony occurring subsequent to the date of
      the conviction of the child shall begin in district court,
      notwithstanding sections 232.8 and 232.45.  A copy of the findings
      required by section 232.45, subsection 10, shall be made a part of
      the record in the district court proceedings.
         3.  If proceedings against a child for an aggravated misdemeanor
      or a felony who has previously been waived to and convicted of an
      aggravated misdemeanor or a felony in the district court are
      mistakenly begun in the juvenile court, the matter shall be
      transferred to district court upon the discovery of the prior waiver
      and conviction, notwithstanding sections 232.8 and 232.45.
         4.  This section shall not apply to a child who was waived to the
      district court for the purpose of being prosecuted as a youthful
      offender.
