  9 18    (6)  The department shall annually evaluate the
  9 19 success of the public health nursing program.  The
  9 20 evaluation shall include the extent to which the

  9 23 increased the availability of public health nursing
  9 24 care to elderly and low-income persons, and the extent
  9 25 of public health nursing care provided to elderly and

 10 16 due to the absence, incapacity, or limitations of the
 10 17 usual homemaker, are experiencing stress or crisis.
 10 18 The services include but are not limited to essential

 10 32 abuse or neglect or to otherwise protect the child or
 10 33 adult from a threat of abuse or neglect.
 10 34    The amount appropriated in this lettered paragraph
 10 35 shall be allocated for use in the counties of the
 10 36 state.  Fifteen percent of the amount shall be divided
 10 37 so that an equal amount is available for use in each
 10 38 county in the state.  The following percentages of the
 10 39 remaining amount shall be allocated to each county
 10 40 according to that county's proportion of residents
 10 41 with the following demographic characteristics:  60
 10 42 percent according to the number of elderly persons
 10 43 living in the county, 20 percent according to the
 10 44 number of persons below the poverty level living in
 10 45 the county, and 20 percent according to the number of
 10 46 substantiated cases of child abuse in the county
 10 47 during the three most recent fiscal years for which
 10 48 data is available.
 10 49    In order to receive allocations in this lettered
 10 50 paragraph, the county board of supervisors, after
 11  1 consultation with the local boards of health, human
 11  2 services county cluster boards, area agency on aging
 11  3 advisory council, local office of the department of
 11  4 human services, and other in-home health care provider
 11  5 agencies in the jurisdiction, shall prepare a proposal

 11  7 jurisdiction that will provide the maximum benefits of
 11  8 home care aide services to elderly and low-income
 11  9 persons and children and adults in need of protective
 11 10 services in the jurisdiction.  An agency requesting
 11 11 service or financial information about a current
 11 12 subcontractor shall provide similar information
 11 13 concerning its own home care aide or chore services
 11 14 program to the current subcontractor.  The proposal
 11 15 may provide that a maximum of 15 percent of the
 11 16 allocated funds will be used to provide chore
 11 17 services.  The proposal shall include a statement
 11 18 assuring that children and adults in need of
 11 19 protective services are given priority for home care
 11 20 aide services and that the appropriate local agencies
 11 21 have participated in the planning for the proposal.
 11 22 After approval of the proposal by the department, the
 11 23 department shall enter into a contract with the county
 11 24 board of supervisors or a governmental body designated
 11 25 by the county board of supervisors.  The county board
 11 26 of supervisors or its designee shall subcontract with
 11 27 a nonprofit nurses' association, an independent
 11 28 nonprofit agency, the department of human services, or
 11 29 a suitable local governmental body to use the
 11 30 allocated funds to provide home care aide services and
 11 31 chore services providing that the subcontract requires
 11 32 any service provided away from the home to be
 11 33 documented in a report available for review by the
 11 34 department, and that each home care aide
 11 35 subcontracting agency shall maintain the direct
 11 36 service workers' time assigned to direct client
 11 37 service at 70 percent or more of the workers' paid
 11 38 time and that not more than 35 percent of the total
 11 39 cost of the service be included in the combined costs
 11 40 for service administration and agency administration.
 11 41 The subcontract shall require that each home care aide
 11 42 subcontracting agency shall pay the employer's
 11 43 contribution of social security and provide workers'
 11 44 compensation coverage for persons providing direct
 11 45 home care aide service and meet any other applicable
 11 46 legal requirements of an employer-employee
 11 47 relationship.
 11 48    If by July 30 of the fiscal year, the department is
 11 49 unable to conclude contracts for use of the allocated
 11 50 funds in a county, the department shall consider the
 12  1 unused funds appropriated in this lettered paragraph
 12  2 an unallocated pool.  The department shall also
 12  3 identify any allocated funds which the counties do not
 12  4 anticipate spending during the fiscal year.  If the
 12  5 amount of anticipated excess funds to any county is
 12  6 substantial, the department and the county may agree
 12  7 to return those excess funds, if the funds are other
 12  8 than program revenues, to the department, and if
 12  9 returned, the department shall consider the returned
 12 10 funds a part of the unallocated pool.  The department
 12 11 shall, prior to February 15 of the fiscal year,
 12 12 reallocate the funds in the unallocated pool among the
 12 13 counties in which the department has concluded
 12 14 contracts under this lettered paragraph.  The
 12 15 department shall also review the first 10 months'
 12 16 expenditures for each county in May of the fiscal
 12 17 year, to determine if any counties possess contracted
 12 18 funds which they do not anticipate spending.  If such
 12 19 funds are identified and the county agrees to release
 12 20 the funds, the released funds will be considered a new
 12 21 reallocation pool.  The department may, prior to June
 12 22 1 of the fiscal year, reallocate funds from this new
 12 23 reallocation pool to those counties which have
 12 24 experienced a high utilization of protective service
 12 25 hours for children and dependent adults.
 12 26    The department shall maintain rules governing the
 12 27 expenditure of funds appropriated in this lettered
 12 28 paragraph.  The rules shall require each local agency
 12 29 receiving funds to establish and use a sliding fee
 12 30 scale for those persons able to pay for all or a
 12 31 portion of the cost of the services and shall require
 12 32 the payments to be applied to the cost of the
 12 33 services.  The department shall also maintain rules
 12 34 for standards regarding training, supervision,
 12 35 recordkeeping, appeals, program evaluation, cost
 12 36 analysis, and financial audits, and rules specifying
 12 37 reporting requirements.
 12 38    The department shall annually evaluate the success
 12 39 of the home care aide program.  The evaluation shall
 12 40 include a description of the program and its
 12 41 implementation, the extent of local participation, the
 12 42 extent to which the program reduced or prevented
 12 43 inappropriate institutionalization, the extent to
 12 44 which the program provided or increased the
 12 45 availability of home care aide services to elderly and
 12 46 low-income persons and children and adults in need of
 12 47 protective services, any problems and recommendations
 12 48 concerning the program, and an analysis of the costs
 12 49 of services across the state.  The department shall
 12 50 submit a report of the annual evaluation to the
 13  1 governor and the general assembly.

 13 29 one of its purposes the sponsorship or support for
 13 30 programs designed to improve the quality, awareness,
 13 31 and availability of health care for the young, to
 13 32 serve as the funding mechanism for the provision of
 13 33 primary health care and preventive services to
 13 34 children in the state who are uninsured and who are

 13 36 insurance, provided all of the following conditions

 13 45 possible.  The organization shall work with the Iowa
 13 46 department of public health, family and community
 13 47 health division, to ensure duplication is minimized.
 13 48    (3)  The organization's governing board includes in
 13 49 its membership representatives from the executive and

 14 22 collaboratively to assure continuity of the provision
 14 23 of services from the prenatal to the preschool period
 14 24 to an individual client by having a single resource
 14 25 mother work with that client.  The department shall
 14 26 submit an annual report to the general assembly
 14 27 concerning the efficiency of the healthy family
