25 department of revenue and finance for the fiscal year
26 beginning July 1, 1996, and ending June 30, 1997, the
27 following amount, or so much thereof as is necessary,
28 to be used for the purposes designated:
29 For child support recovery, including salaries,
30 support, maintenance, and miscellaneous purposes and
31 for not more than the following full-time equivalent
32 positions:
33 $ 6,400,000
34 FTEs 226.22
35 1. The director of revenue and finance, within the
36 limitations of the funds appropriated in this section,
37 or funds transferred from the family investment
38 program appropriation made in this Act for this
39 purpose, shall establish new positions and add
40 employees to the child support recovery unit if the
41 director determines that both the current and
42 additional employees together can reasonably be
43 expected to maintain or increase net state revenue at
44 or beyond the budgeted level. If the director adds
45 employees, the department shall demonstrate the cost-
46 effectiveness of the current and additional employees
47 by reporting to the joint appropriations subcommittee
48 on human services the ratio of the total amount of
49 administrative costs for child support recoveries to
50 the total amount of the child support recovered.
Page 3
1 2. Nonpublic assistance application and user fees
2 received by the child support recovery program are
3 appropriated and shall be used for the purposes of the
4 child support recovery program. The director of
5 revenue and finance may add positions if fees
6 collected relating to the new positions are sufficient
7 to pay the salaries and support for the positions.
8 The director shall report any positions added pursuant

16 the manner specified under applicable federal
17 requirements.
18 4. The director of revenue and finance may
19 establish new positions and add state employees to the
20 child support recovery unit if the director determines
21 the employees are necessary to replace county-funded
22 positions eliminated due to termination, reduction, or
23 nonrenewal of a chapter 28E contract. However, the
24 director must also determine that the resulting
25 increase in the state share of child support recovery
26 incentives exceeds the cost of the positions, the
27 positions are necessary to ensure continued federal
28 funding of the program, or the new positions can
29 reasonably be expected to recover more than twice the
30 amount of money to pay the salaries and support for
31 the new positions.
32 5. The child support recovery unit shall continue
33 to work with the judicial department to determine the
34 feasibility of a pilot project utilizing a court-
35 appointed referee for judicial determinations on child
36 support matters. The extent and location of any pilot
37 project shall be jointly developed by the judicial
38 department and the child support recovery unit.
39 6. The department shall expend up to $50,000,
40 including federal financial participation, for the
41 fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996, for a child
42 support public awareness campaign. The department
43 shall cooperate with the office of the attorney
44 general in continuation of the campaign. The public
45 awareness campaign shall emphasize, through a variety
46 of media activities and through continuation of the
47 publication of names of persons who are delinquent in
48 payment of child support obligations, the importance
49 of maximum involvement of both parents in the lives of
50 their children as well as the importance of payment of
Page 4

3 option to provide and supervise a community service
4 pilot project for absent parents who are ordered by
5 the court to perform community service for failure to
6 pay child support pursuant to section 598.23A.
7 8. The director of revenue and finance may enter a
8 contract with private collection agencies to collect
9 support payments for cases which have been identified
10 by the department as difficult collection cases if the
11 department determines that this form of collection is
12 more cost effective than departmental collection
13 methods. The director may use a portion of the state
14 share of funds collected through this means to pay the
15 costs of any contracts authorized under this
16 subsection.
17 9. The department shall employ on or before July
18 2, 1996, at least 1.00 FTE to respond to telephone
19 inquiries during all weekly business hours.
20 10. The department shall develop guidelines to be
21 used in lieu of the child support guidelines
22 prescribed under section 598.21, subsection 4, for
23 establishing a support obligation and the amount of
24 the support debt accrued and accruing pursuant to
25 section 234.39 for the costs of foster care services.

30 guidelines to the general assembly on or before
31 January 15, 1997.

43 1997 session of the general assembly which proposes
44 for the general assembly's consideration all necessary
45 and conforming amendments to the Code to reflect the
46 transfer.
47 b. The work group shall address, at a minimum, all
48 of the following issues and shall take any actions
49 necessary to implement the transfer of the child
50 support recovery unit:
Page 5
1 (1) Any changes to the state plan relating to the
