  2 23 automatically under this chapter without regard to publication
  2 24 of the notice required by this subsection, unless the
  2 25 secretary by order specifically determines that an amendment

  2 27    Sec. 3.  1994 Iowa Acts, chapter 1198, section 1,
  2 28 subsection 3, paragraph a, unnumbered paragraph 3, is amended
  2 29 to read as follows:
  2 30    Of the amount appropriated under this paragraph "a" or
  2 31 paragraph "c" of this subsection, the department shall
  2 32 allocate $160,000 shall be allocated from the either
  2 33 appropriation to Iowa state university for purposes of
  2 34 training commercial pesticide applicators.
  2 35    Sec. 4.  This Act, being deemed of immediate importance,
  3  1 takes effect upon enactment.  
  3  2                           EXPLANATION
  3  3    This bill amends several provisions relating to the
  3  4 administration of the department of agriculture and land
  3  5 stewardship.
  3  6    The bill also amends chapter 198 known as the "Iowa
  3  7 Commercial Feed Law".  Section 198.9 currently requires the
  3  8 department of agriculture and land stewardship to submit a
  3  9 report to the general assembly accounting for all sources of
  3 10 revenue deposited under and all dispositions of funds expended
  3 11 for the inspection of commercial feed and pet food.  The
  3 12 section provides that the report must be submitted by
  3 13 September 1 of each year.  This bill provides that the report
  3 14 must be submitted on January 1 of each year.
  3 15    The bill also amends section 198.10 which currently
  3 16 provides that the department must adopt rules for commercial
  3 17 feeds and pet foods, including definitions of feed ingredients
  3 18 and official feed terms adopted by the association of American
  3 19 feed control officials.  The bill eliminates requirements
  3 20 relating to this association.
  3 21    In 1994, the general assembly enacted Senate File 2314
  3 22 which in part appropriated moneys to the department of
  3 23 agriculture and land stewardship, including the laboratory
  3 24 division.  Senate File 2314 provided that $160,000 would be
  3 25 allocated from the appropriation to Iowa state university for
  3 26 purposes of training commercial pesticide applicators.  This
  3 27 bill provides that the allocation may come from moneys
  3 28 appropriated to the pesticide program administered by the
  3 29 division.
  3 30    The bill takes effect upon enactment.
