  2 24 appropriated from the general fund of the state to the
  2 25 department of human services for the fiscal year
  2 26 beginning July 1, 1996, and ending June 30, 1997, the
  2 27 following amount, or so much thereof as is necessary,
  2 28 to be used for the purposes designated:
  2 29    For child support recovery, including salaries,
  2 30 support, maintenance, and miscellaneous purposes and
  2 31 for not more than the following full-time equivalent
  2 32 positions:  
  2 33 .................................................. $  6,400,000
  2 34 ............................................... FTEs     226.22
  2 35    1.  The director of human services, within the
  2 36 limitations of the funds appropriated in this section,
  2 37 or funds transferred from the family investment
  2 38 program appropriation made in this Act for this
  2 39 purpose, shall establish new positions and add
  2 40 employees to the child support recovery unit if the
  2 41 director determines that both the current and
  2 42 additional employees together can reasonably be
  2 43 expected to maintain or increase net state revenue at
  2 44 or beyond the budgeted level.  If the director adds
  2 45 employees, the department shall demonstrate the cost-
  2 46 effectiveness of the current and additional employees
  2 47 by reporting to the joint appropriations subcommittee
  2 48 on human services the ratio of the total amount of
  2 49 administrative costs for child support recoveries to
  2 50 the total amount of the child support recovered.
  3  1    2.  Nonpublic assistance application and user fees
  3  2 received by the child support recovery program are
  3  3 appropriated and shall be used for the purposes of the
  3  4 child support recovery program.  The director of human
  3  5 services may add positions if fees collected relating
  3  6 to the new positions are sufficient to pay the
  3  7 salaries and support for the positions.  The director
  3  8 shall report any positions added pursuant to this
  3  9 subsection to the chairpersons and ranking members of
  3 10 the joint appropriations subcommittee on human
  3 11 services and the legislative fiscal bureau.
  3 12    3.  The director of human services, in consultation
  3 13 with the department of management and the legislative
  3 14 fiscal committee, is authorized to receive and deposit
  3 15 state child support incentive earnings in the manner
  3 16 specified under applicable federal requirements.
  3 17    4.  The director of human services may establish
  3 18 new positions and add state employees to the child
  3 19 support recovery unit if the director determines the
  3 20 employees are necessary to replace county-funded
  3 21 positions eliminated due to termination, reduction, or
  3 22 nonrenewal of a chapter 28E contract.  However, the
  3 23 director must also determine that the resulting
  3 24 increase in the state share of child support recovery
  3 25 incentives exceeds the cost of the positions, the
  3 26 positions are necessary to ensure continued federal
  3 27 funding of the program, or the new positions can
  3 28 reasonably be expected to recover more than twice the
  3 29 amount of money to pay the salaries and support for
  3 30 the new positions.
  3 31    5.  The child support recovery unit shall continue
  3 32 to work with the judicial department to determine the
  3 33 feasibility of a pilot project utilizing a court-
  3 34 appointed referee for judicial determinations on child
  3 35 support matters.  The extent and location of any pilot
  3 36 project shall be jointly developed by the judicial
  3 37 department and the child support recovery unit.
  3 38    6.  The department shall expend up to $50,000,
  3 39 including federal financial participation, for the
  3 40 fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996, for a child
  3 41 support public awareness campaign.  The department
  3 42 shall cooperate with the office of the attorney
  3 43 general in continuation of the campaign.  The public
  3 44 awareness campaign shall emphasize, through a variety
  3 45 of media activities and through continuation of the
  3 46 publication of names of persons who are delinquent in
  3 47 payment of child support obligations, the importance
  3 48 of maximum involvement of both parents in the lives of
  3 49 their children as well as the importance of payment of
  3 50 child support obligations.
  4  1    7.  The department shall continue the pilot program
  4  2 option to provide and supervise a community service
  4  3 pilot project for absent parents who are ordered by
  4  4 the court to perform community service for failure to
  4  5 pay child support pursuant to section 598.23A.
  4  6    8.  The director of human services may enter a
  4  7 contract with private collection agencies to collect
  4  8 support payments for cases which have been identified
  4  9 by the department as difficult collection cases if the
  4 10 department determines that this form of collection is
  4 11 more cost effective than departmental collection
  4 12 methods.  The director may use a portion of the state
  4 13 share of funds collected through this means to pay the
  4 14 costs of any contracts authorized under this
  4 15 subsection.
  4 16    9.  The department shall employ on or before July
  4 17 2, 1996, at least 1.00 FTE to respond to telephone
  4 18 inquiries during all weekly business hours.

  4 20 used in lieu of the child support guidelines
  4 21 prescribed under section 598.21, subsection 4, for
  4 22 establishing a support obligation and the amount of
  4 23 the support debt accrued and accruing pursuant to
  4 24 section 234.39 for the costs of foster care services.
  4 25 The proposed guidelines shall reflect the public
  4 26 purpose of establishing a support obligation without
  4 27 causing a serious disruption of the family of the
  4 28 obligor.  The department shall submit the proposed
  4 29 guidelines to the general assembly on or before
  4 30 January 15, 1997.
  4 31    11.  The department of human services shall
  4 32 cooperate with the restructuring task force on the
  4 33 future of human services to assess the feasibility of
  4 34 transferring all or part of the functions of the child
  4 35 support recovery unit to other agencies of state
  4 36 government on or after July 1, 1997."

  8 21 concerning the four modification proposals developed
  8 22 by the department in response to proposed federal
  8 23 actions submitted to the joint appropriations
  8 24 subcommittee on human services in February 1996.
  8 25    The task force may establish work groups to assist
  8 26 in the task force's consideration of the modification
  8 27 proposals which may include the following:
  8 28    a.  A review of the child welfare modification
  8 29 proposal which may include input from representatives
  8 30 of the juvenile court, service providers, families
  8 31 receiving services, the attorney general,
  8 32 representatives of local governments, representatives
  8 33 of state agencies, and other citizens and officials.

  8 35 transfer of the department of human services
  8 36 delinquent youth programs to the department of
  8 37 corrections.

  8 39 disabilities proposal which shall incorporate issues
  8 40 associated with implementation of the funding reform
  8 41 enacted in Senate File 69; usage of service providers
  8 42 such as intermediate care facilities for the mentally
  8 43 retarded, state institutions, and other services for
  8 44 persons with disabilities; distribution of services
  8 45 throughout the state; and other issues.
  8 46    c.  A review of the family investment program
  8 47 proposal which may include input from the work group
  8 48 which considered the state human investment policy
  8 49 proposal or a successor interagency task force which
  8 50 makes recommendations to the department concerning the
  9  1 family investment program.  Consideration of issues
  9  2 associated with the proposal may include review of the
  9  3 emergency assistance program, the family development
  9  4 and self-sufficiency (FaDSS) program, and child day
  9  5 care programs, and an assessment of the feasibility of

  9 15    2.  If federal law requires the state to make
  9 16 changes in the programs and services directed to the
  9 17 populations addressed by the modification proposals
  9 18 and authorizes the changes to be made without state
  9 19 legislation, the department shall adopt rules to
  9 20 implement the changes.  The rules shall be submitted
  9 21 to the task force for review and recommendation prior
  9 22 to their submission to the administrative rules review
