  1 10    "7.  Notwithstanding contrary provisions of
  1 11 sections 235A.13 to 235A.23, the following
  1 12 requirements shall apply to child abuse information in
  1 13 an assessment performed in accordance with this
  1 14 section:
  1 15    a.  If the department determines the child suffered
  1 16 significant injury or was placed in great risk of
  1 17 injury, the name of the child and the alleged
  1 18 perpetrator of the child abuse shall be placed in the
  1 19 central registry as a case of founded child abuse.
  1 20 Any of the following shall be considered to be an
  1 21 indicator that the child suffered significant injury
  1 22 or was placed in great risk of injury:
  1 23    (1)  The case was referred for juvenile or criminal
  1 24 court action as a result of the acts or omissions of
  1 25 the alleged perpetrator.
  1 26    (2)  In the opinion of a health practitioner or
  1 27 mental health professional, the injury to the child as
  1 28 a result of the acts or omission of the alleged
  1 29 perpetrator required or should have required medical
  1 30 or mental health treatment.
  1 31    (3)  The department determines in a subsequent
  1 32 assessment that the child suffered significant injury
  1 33 or was placed in great risk of injury due to the acts
  1 34 or omissions of the same alleged perpetrator.
  1 35    a.  If the department determines the child abuse
  1 36 report involved the parent or guardian of the child in
  1 37 a minor, isolated incident or condition which could
  1 38 occur in almost any family, or the occurrence of the
  1 39 omission was so remote in time that no current
  1 40 protective concerns are present for any child
  1 41 encountered by the department at the time of
  1 42 performing the assessment, the child abuse information
  1 43 in the assessment shall not be placed in the central
  1 44 child abuse registry.  Notwithstanding chapter 22, the
  1 45 confidentiality of the child abuse information shall
  1 46 be maintained.
  1 47    b.  In any other case, the child abuse information
  1 48 in an assessment shall not be placed in the central
  1 49 registry and notwithstanding chapter 22, the
  1 50 confidentiality of the information shall be maintained
  2  1 as a case of founded child abuse.
  2  2    c.  If information is placed in the central
  2  3 registry as a case of founded child abuse, all of the
  2  4 provisions of sections 235A.13 to 235A.23 which apply
  2  5 to a case of founded child abuse shall apply to a case
  2  6 of founded child abuse under this section."
