  1  8 quantity of services provided for the permanent
  1  9 placement of children for whom parental rights have

  1 13 and family services in 1994 Iowa Acts, chapter 1186,
  1 14 section 10, for the services increase and for other

  1 19 chaired by the lieutenant governor.  The efforts to
  1 20 increase services shall result in the employment of
  1 21 8.5 FTEs for adoption services.  The department's
  1 22 authorized number of full-time equivalent positions is
  1 23 increased by the number of additional full-time

  1 27 necessary actions to expedite the employment of
  1 28 persons in full-time equivalent positions authorized
