Sec. 41.  NEW SECTION.  514I.1  IOWA HEALTHY KIDS PROGRAM -
LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
1.  The general assembly finds that increased access to health
care services could improve children's health and reduce the
incidence and costs of childhood illness and disabilities among
children in this state.  Many children do not have health care
services available or funded, and for those who do, lack of
access is a restriction to obtaining such services.  It is the
intent of the general assembly that a program be implemented to
provide health care services and comprehensive health benefits
or insurance coverage to children.  A goal for the program is to
cooperate with any existing programs with similar purposes
funded by either the public or private sector.
2.  For the purposes of this chapter, unless the context
otherwise requires:
a.  "Advisory council" means the advisory council created by the
division under section 514I.4.
