  1 28    Sec. 2.  NEW SECTION.  125.83A  PLACEMENT IN CERTAIN
  1 29 FEDERAL FACILITIES.
  1 30    If upon completion of the commitment hearing, the court
  1 31 finds that the contention that the respondent is a chronic
  1 32 substance abuser has been sustained by clear and convincing
  1 33 evidence, and the court is furnished evidence that the
  1 34 respondent is eligible for care and treatment in a facility
  1 35 operated by the veterans administration or another agency of
  2  1 the United States government and that the facility is willing
  2  2 to receive the respondent, the court may so order.  The
  2  3 respondent, when so placed in a facility operated by the
  2  4 veterans administration or another agency of the United States
  2  5 government within or outside of this state, shall be subject
  2  6 to the rules of the veterans administration or other agency,
  2  7 but shall not lose any procedural rights afforded the
  2  8 respondent by this chapter.  The chief officer of the facility
  2  9 shall have, with respect to the respondent so placed, the same
  2 10 powers and duties as the chief medical officer of a hospital
  2 11 in this state would have in regard to submission of reports to
  2 12 the court, retention of custody, transfer, convalescent leave
  2 13 or discharge.  Jurisdiction is retained in the court to

  2 21 willing to receive the respondent without charge to the state
  2 22 of Iowa or any county in the state, the chief medical officer
  2 23 may transfer the respondent to that facility.  Upon so doing,
  2 24 the chief medical officer shall notify the court which ordered
  2 25 the respondent's placement in the same manner as would be
  2 26 required in the case of a transfer under section 125.86,
  2 27 subsection 2, and the respondent transferred shall be entitled
  2 28 to the same rights as the respondent would have under that
  2 29 subsection.  No respondent shall be transferred under this
  2 30 section who is confined pursuant to conviction of a public
  2 31 offense or whose placement was ordered upon contention of

  3  4 agency of the United States government, shall have the same
  3  5 force and effect with respect to that person while the person
  3  6 is in this state as the judgment or order would have if the
  3  7 person were in the jurisdiction of the court which issued it.
  3  8 That court shall be deemed to have retained jurisdiction of
  3  9 the person so placed for the purpose of inquiring into that
  3 10 person's condition and the need for continued care and
  3 11 custody, as do courts in this state under this section.
  3 12 Consent is given to the application of the law of the state or
  3 13 district in which the court is situated which issued the
  3 14 judgment or order as regards authority of the chief officer of
  3 15 any facility, operated in this state by the veterans
  3 16 administration or another agency of the United States
  3 17 government, to retain custody, transfer, place on convalescent
  3 18 leave or discharge the person so committed.

 12 21    Sec. 20.  Section 144.32, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code
 12 22 1997, is amended to read as follows:
 12 23    If a person other than a funeral director, medical
 12 24 examiner, or emergency medical service assumes custody of a
 12 25 dead body or fetus, the person shall secure a burial-transit
 12 26 permit.  To be valid, the burial-transit permit must be issued
 12 27 by the county medical examiner, a funeral director, or the
 12 28 county registrar of the county where the certificate of death
 12 29 or fetal death was filed.  The permit shall be obtained prior
 12 30 to the removal of the body or fetus from the place of death
 12 31 and the permit shall accompany the body or fetus to the place
 12 32 of final disposition.
 12 33    Sec. 21.  Section 144.43, Code 1997, is amended by adding
 12 34 the following new unnumbered paragraph:
 12 35    NEW UNNUMBERED PARAGRAPH.  A public record shall not be
 13  1 withheld from the public because it is combined with data
 13  2 processing software.  The state registrar shall not implement
 13  3 any electronic data processing system for the storage,
 13  4 manipulation, or retrieval of vital records that would impair
 13  5 a county registrar's ability to permit the examination of a
 13  6 public record and the copying of a public record, as
 13  7 established by rule.  If it is necessary to separate a public
 13  8 record from data processing software in order to permit the
 13  9 examination of the public record, the county registrar shall
 13 10 periodically generate a written log available for public
 13 11 inspection which contains the public record.
 13 12    Sec. 22.  NEW SECTION.  152.12  EXAMINATION INFORMATION.
 13 13    Notwithstanding subsection 147.21, subsection 3, individual
 13 14 pass or fail examination results made available from the
 13 15 authorized national testing agency may be disclosed to the
 13 16 appropriate licensing authority in another state, the District
 13 17 of Columbia, or a territory or county, and the board-approved
 13 18 education program, for purposes of verifying accuracy of
 13 19 national data and determining program approval.
 13 20    Sec. 23.  Section 153.36, Code 1997, is amended to read as
 13 21 follows:
