  1 21    Sec. 2.  Section 232.2, subsection 6, Code 1995, is
  1 22 amended by adding the following new paragraph:
  1 23    NEW PARAGRAPH.  p.  Who is under the age of twelve

  1 27 private instruction."
  1 28    #2.  Page 1, line 34, by inserting after the figure
  1 29 "299.5," the following:  "who employs a child in

  1 32 following:
  1 33    "Sec.    .  Section 299.8, Code 1995, is amended to
  1 34 read as follows:
  1 35    299.8  "TRUANT" DEFINED.
  1 36    Any child of compulsory attendance age who fails to
  1 37 attend school as provided in this chapter, or as
  1 38 required by the school board's or school governing
  1 39 body's attendance policy, or who fails to attend
  1 40 competent private instruction under chapter 299A,
  1 41 without reasonable excuse for the absence, shall be
  1 42 deemed to be a truant.  A finding that a child age

  1 44 itself mean that the child is a child in need of
  1 45 assistance within the meaning of chapter 232 and shall
  1 46 not be the sole basis for a child in need of
  1 47 assistance petition.  A child under the age of twelve
  1 48 deemed truant is a child in need of assistance as
  1 49 provided in section 232.2, subsection 6.  However, the

  2 15 care services to at-risk children is exempt from this
  2 16 provision.  A".
  2 17    #5.  Title page, line 3, by inserting after the
  2 18 word "child" the following:  ", the employment of a
  2 19 truant, making truancy by a child under the age of

  2 21 petition,".
