 23  2 perfected by the secured party's taking possession of the
 23  3 letter of credit.  If such collateral other than goods covered
 23  4 by a negotiable document is held by a bailee, the secured
 23  5 party is deemed to have possession from the time the bailee
 23  6 receives notification of the secured party's interest.  A
 23  7 security interest is perfected by possession from the time
 23  8 possession is taken without a relation back and continues only
 23  9 so long as possession is retained, unless otherwise specified
 23 10 in this Article.  The security interest may be otherwise
 23 11 perfected as provided in this Article before or after the
 23 12 period of possession by the secured party.
 23 13    Sec. 67.  Section 589.6, Code 1997, is amended to read as
 23 14 follows:
 23 15    589.6  INSTRUMENTS AFFECTING REAL ESTATE.
 23 16    All instruments in writing executed by a corporation before
 23 17 July 1, 1996, which are more than one year old, conveying,
 23 18 encumbering, or affecting real estate, including releases, or
 23 19 satisfactions of mortgages, judgments, or any other liens by
 23 20 entry of the release or satisfaction upon the page where the
 23 21 lien appears recorded or entered, where the corporate seal of
 23 22 the corporation has not been affixed or attached, and which
 23 23 are otherwise legally and properly executed, are legal, valid,
 23 24 and binding as though the corporate seal had been attached or
 23 25 affixed.
 23 26    Sec. 68.  Section 602.8102, subsection 32, Code 1997, is
 23 27 amended by striking the subsection.
 23 28    Sec. 69.  Section 602.8104, subsection 2, paragraph j, Code
 23 29 1997, is amended by striking the paragraph.
 23 30    Sec. 70.  Section 690.1, Code 1997, is amended to read as
 23 31 follows:
 23 32    690.1  CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION.
 23 33    The director commissioner of public safety may provide in
 23 34 the department a bureau of criminal identification.  The
 23 35 director commissioner may adopt rules for the same.  The
 24  1 sheriff of each county and the chief of police of each city
 24  2 shall furnish to the department criminal identification
 24  3 records and other information as directed by the director
 24  4 commissioner of public safety.
 24  5    Sec. 71.  Section 724.11, Code 1997, is amended to read as
 24  6 follows:
 24  7    724.11  ISSUANCE OF PERMIT TO CARRY WEAPONS.
 24  8    Applications for permits to carry weapons shall be made to
 24  9 the sheriff of the county in which the applicant resides.
 24 10 Applications from persons who are nonresidents of the state,
 24 11 or whose need to go armed arises out of employment by the
 24 12 state, shall be made to the commissioner of public safety.  In
 24 13 either case, the issuance of the permit shall be by and at the
 24 14 discretion of the sheriff or commissioner, who shall, before
 24 15 issuing the permit, determine that the requirements of
 24 16 sections 724.6 to 724.10 have been satisfied.  However, the
 24 17 training program requirements in section 724.9 may be waived
 24 18 for renewal permits.  The issuing officer shall collect a fee
 24 19 of ten dollars, except from a duly appointed peace officer or
 24 20 correctional officer, for each permit issued.  Renewal permits
 24 21 or duplicate permits shall be issued for a fee of five
 24 22 dollars.  The issuing officer shall notify the commissioner of
 24 23 public safety of the issuance of any permit at least monthly
 24 24 and forward to the director commissioner an amount equal to
 24 25 two dollars for each permit issued and one dollar for each
 24 26 renewal or duplicate permit issued.  All such fees received by
 24 27 the commissioner shall be paid to the treasurer of state and
 24 28 deposited in the operating account of the department of public
 24 29 safety to offset the cost of administering this chapter.  Any
 24 30 unspent balance as of June 30 of each year shall revert to the
 24 31 general fund as provided by section 8.33.
 24 32    Sec. 72.  Section 901A.1, subsection 2, Code 1997, is
 24 33 amended to read as follows:
 24 34    2.  As used in this section chapter, the term "prior
 24 35 conviction" includes a plea of guilty, deferred judgment,
 25  1 deferred or suspended sentence, or adjudication of
 25  2 delinquency.  
 25  3                           EXPLANATION 
 25  4    This bill contains the following nonsubstantive Code
 25  5 corrections:
 25  6    Code section 7G.1(7):  In the section relating to the
 25  7 sesquicentennial commission, the reference to Code section
 25  8 321.34, former subsection 14, is stricken.  Subsection 14 of
 25  9 Code section 321.34, relating to the sesquicentennial vehicle
 25 10 plates, was stricken by 1996 Acts, chapter 1088, section 8,
 25 11 effective January 1, 1997.  Sesquicentennial plates remain
 25 12 valid through the month of expiration in 1997.  New subsection
 25 13 14 relates to handicapped special plates.
 25 14    Code sections 10A.108(1), unnumbered paragraph 2;
 25 15 10A.108(4), unnumbered paragraph 1:  In the sections relating
 25 16 to liens for certain entitlement benefits or provider payments
 25 17 inappropriately obtained from the department of human
 25 18 services, the words "or provider payments" are added after
 25 19 "benefits" to coordinate with the amendment to subsection 1,
 25 20 unnumbered paragraph 1, in 1996 Acts, chapter 1052, section 2.
 25 21 The collections are by the department of inspections and
 25 22 appeals.
 25 23    Code section 12.40(3):  Refers to businesses located in
 25 24 certain cities, not to the cities themselves, as ineligible to
 25 25 borrow under the rural small business transfer linked
 25 26 investment program.  This is intended to clarify the amendment
 25 27 in 1996 Acts, chapter 1058, section 7.
 25 28    Code section 15.114(1)(c):  In the new section governing
 25 29 microbusiness enterprise assistance, the term "microbusiness
 25 30 organization" is changed to "microenterprise organization" as
 25 31 the defined term for the nonprofit corporation contracting to
 25 32 conduct the program.  "Microenterprise organization" is the
 25 33 term used for this corporation in the rest of the section.
 25 34    Code section 15A.7(4):  In the new section establishing a
 25 35 program involving a "supplemental new jobs credit from
 26  1 withholding" under community college agreements with
 26  2 employers, "this subsection" is changed to "this section" to
 26  3 reflect apparent intent of provision.
 26  4    Code sections 80.16, 690.1, and 724.11:  In the sections
 26  5 relating to bonding of public safety employees, the creation
 26  6 of the bureau of criminal identification, and the issuance of
 26  7 weapons permits, a reference to the head of the department of
 26  8 public safety is corrected by changing "director" to
 26  9 "commissioner".  This reference was apparently overlooked
 26 10 during the implementation of name changes throughout the Code
 26 11 following the 1986 state government reorganization.
 26 12    Code section 84A.7(2):  In the new section relating to the
 26 13 Iowa conservation corps in the department of workforce
 26 14 development, a terminology change from "the disabled" to
 26 15 "persons with disabilities" is made to conform to the changes
 26 16 made in 1996 Acts, chapter 1129, and also to revise
 26 17 terminology describing others eligible for jobs in the corps.
 26 18    Code section 97A.7(5):  In the section relating to the
 26 19 financial powers of the board of trustees of the public safety
 26 20 peace officers' retirement, accident, and disability system,
 26 21 an obsolete subsection authorizing this board to invest funds
 26 22 of the municipal fire and police retirement systems created
 26 23 under Code chapter 411 is stricken.  Municipal fire and police
 26 24 retirement systems now have their own statewide board.
 26 25    Code section 97B.49(17)(c)(1):  In the section governing
 26 26 retirement allowances under IPERS, a subparagraph that is no
 26 27 longer relevant is stricken because of the item veto of 1996
 26 28 Acts, chapter 1187, section 32, which would have added a new
 26 29 paragraph "e" to Code section 97B.49(5) reducing the
 26 30 percentage multiplier for average annual wages in excess of
 26 31 $55,000.
 26 32    Code section 97B.80, unnumbered paragraph 1:  In the
 26 33 section on veteran's credit under IPERS, the correct reference
 26 34 to federal law governing retired pay for nonregular service in
 26 35 the armed forces is substituted for the current reference.
 27  1    Code section 99D.25A, subsection 2:  In the subsection
 27  2 prohibiting the administration of phenylbutazone beyond
 27  3 certain concentration levels in horses, an incorrect reference
 27  4 to a metric unit of measurement is corrected.
 27  5    Code section 135.11(16):  Strikes from the duties of the
 27  6 Iowa department of public health a subsection relating to data
 27  7 required by the former health data commission.  The health
 27  8 data commission, governed under former Code chapter 145, was
 27  9 repealed effective July 1, 1996.  Its successor, the community
 27 10 health management information system (Code chapter 144C)
 27 11 chapter, is not connected with the Iowa department of public
 27 12 health.  The insurance division of the department of commerce
 27 13 is responsible for enforcement of chapter 144C.
 27 14    Code section 135.107(3)(c)(2)(a):  In the section on the
 27 15 center for rural health and primary care, the words "service
 27 16 in exchange for each year of scholarship receipt" are
 27 17 substituted for "service in exchange for each year of loan
 27 18 repayment" in the paragraph relating to primary care provider
 27 19 scholarships.  The preceding paragraph relates to primary care
 27 20 provider loans.  The amendments in 1996 Acts, chapter 1128,
 27 21 sections 2 and 3, inserted the same language in both
 27 22 paragraphs.
 27 23    Code section 137E.1(11):  A grammatical correction is made
 27 24 in the definition of "potentially hazardous food" in the
 27 25 vending machine chapter by changing the phrase "progressive
 27 26 growth or infectious or toxigenic microorganisms" to
 27 27 "progressive growth of infectious or toxigenic
 27 28 microorganisms".
 27 29    Code section 191.3, unnumbered paragraph 1:  In the
 27 30 provision relating to notice of the use of imitation cheese,
 27 31 the words "as in this subtitle defined" are stricken because
 27 32 there is no longer a definition in the Iowa Code.  The former
 27 33 definition was repealed by 1991 Acts, chapter 74, section 2.
 27 34    Code sections 229.33, 230.6(1), and 230.7:  In the sections
 27 35 relating to persons with mental illness, references to "this
 28  1 Act" (meaning 1975 Iowa Acts, chapter 139) are changed by
 28  2 substituting "chapter 229", the new Code chapter enacted at
 28  3 that time.  Chapter 229 relates to the hospitalization of
 28  4 persons with mental illness.  The use of a Code reference
 28  5 eliminates the need for asterisks and footnotes at these
 28  6 sections.
 28  7    Code section 231.53:  In the section directing the
 28  8 department of elder affairs to coordinate with job training
 28  9 partnership programs, the term "department of workforce
 28 10 development" is substituted for "department of economic
 28 11 development" as the administering agency and strikes related
 28 12 references to the department of economic development.
 28 13 Administrative responsibility for job training partnership
 28 14 programs was transferred to the department of workforce
 28 15 development under 1996 Acts, chapter 1186.  See Code section
 28 16 84A.5(6)(e).
 28 17    Code section 231C.4:  In the new chapter relating to
 28 18 assisted living programs for the elderly, the provision
 28 19 relating to rules by the state fire marshal is amended by
 28 20 inserting the word "standards" after "fire and safety" for
 28 21 clarity.  This is the wording used in the headnote.
 28 22    Code section 232.89(1):  A new sentence denying an
 28 23 incarcerated noncustodial parent's right to counsel in CINA
 28 24 proceedings in juvenile court is amended to provide that the
 28 25 denial is limited to "court-appointed" counsel.  This appears
 28 26 to have been the intent under 1996 Acts, chapter 1193, section
 28 27 5.
 28 28    Code section 249F.1(2)(b)(6):  In the chapter relating to
 28 29 medical assistance debts and the transfer of assets, the
 28 30 wording relating to one of the types of permitted transfers is
 28 31 revised.  The deletion of certain language by amendment in
 28 32 1996 Acts, chapter 1107, section 3, resulted in awkward
 28 33 sentence structure.
 28 34    Code section 256B.2(3), unnumbered paragraph 1:  In the
 28 35 provision relating to special education services and
 29  1 cooperation between the area education agencies and the board
 29  2 of regents, a reference to "this Act" (meaning 1974 Iowa Acts,
 29  3 chapter 1172) is changed by substituting "this chapter",
 29  4 meaning chapter 256B, the special education chapter.
 29  5    Code section 257.21, unnumbered paragraph 2:  In the
 29  6 section describing the computation of the property tax and
 29  7 income surtax amounts in school districts where the
 29  8 instructional support program is authorized, a reference to a
 29  9 now-repealed provision which granted a seed capital credit on
 29 10 the state income tax is stricken.
 29 11    Code section 257.31(17)(d):  In the new provision listing
 29 12 duties of the school budget review committee relating to
 29 13 school transportation assistance aid, a reference intended to
 29 14 cite provision on the transfer of funds from fees for special
 29 15 school transportation registration plates is corrected.
 29 16    Code section 260C.39, unnumbered paragraphs 3 and 4:  In
 29 17 the section relating to community colleges and combining
 29 18 merged areas, paragraphs dealing with the allocation of
 29 19 additional state funds from the community college excellence
 29 20 2000 account under former section 260D.14A are stricken.
 29 21 Section 260D.14A was repealed by 1996 Acts, chapter 1215,
 29 22 section 59.
 29 23    Code section 260C.45, unnumbered paragraph 3:  In the
 29 24 section relating to the quality instructional centers program
 29 25 for community colleges, a paragraph on funding from the
 29 26 community college excellence 2000 account is stricken.
 29 27    Code section 260C.46:  References to funding from the
 29 28 community college excellence 2000 account in the section on
 29 29 community college sharing agreements are stricken.
 29 30    Code section 260F.8(1):  In the provision on reallocation
 29 31 of funds for community college jobs training programs, awkward
 29 32 wording which resulted from the amendment in 1996 Acts,
 29 33 chapter 1180, section 15 is revised.
 29 34    Code section 282.18(9), unnumbered paragraph 2:  A
 29 35 conforming change is made in the portion of the open
 30  1 enrollment section dealing with financial arrangements in
 30  2 cases where there has been a change in family residence but
 30  3 the child continues in the original district without
 30  4 interruption.  An amendment in 1996 Acts, chapter 1157,
 30  5 section 2, changed the basis of computation for payment by the
 30  6 district of residence to the receiving district in subsection
 30  7 7 but failed to change similar language in subsection 9.
 30  8    Code section 321.210(1), unnumbered paragraph 1:  In the
 30  9 section relating to suspension of driver's licenses, the words
 30 10 "twenty days" are changed to "thirty days" to conform to the
 30 11 change in the notice period in the last paragraph of the
 30 12 subsection by 1996 Acts, chapter 1152, section 15.
 30 13    Code section 321E.14, unnumbered paragraph 2:  In the
 30 14 chapter relating to vehicles of excessive size and weight, a
 30 15 paragraph relating to an obsolete provision stricken by 1996
 30 16 Acts, chapter 1089, section 8, is stricken.  The obsolete
 30 17 provision affected the transportation of certain soil
 30 18 conservation equipment for the 1983 registration year.
 30 19    Code section 321L.1(4)(a):  In the provision relating to
 30 20 handicapped parking permits, the correct subsection reference
 30 21 for handicapped registration plates under section 321.34 as
 30 22 amended is substituted for the current reference.  Former
 30 23 subsection 7 was stricken and a new provision for handicapped
 30 24 special plates was added (now numbered as subsection 14) by
 30 25 1996 Acts, chapter 1088, sections 4 and 8.
 30 26    Code section 331.438(2):  In the section relating to mental
 30 27 health and developmental disability funding, "allowed growth
 30 28 factor adjustment" is substituted for "inflation factor
 30 29 adjustment".  "Inflation factor adjustment" provisions were
 30 30 item vetoed in 1995.  The new mechanism for growth added by
 30 31 1996 Acts, chapter 1205, is known as the "allowed growth
 30 32 factor adjustment".
 30 33    Code section 331.602(14):  A conforming change is made in
 30 34 the list of duties of the county recorder by striking the
 30 35 subsection relating to the livestock brand book and
 31  1 supplements.  Under section 169A.11, as amended by 1995 Acts,
 31  2 chapter 60, section 7, the county recorder is no longer
 31  3 responsible for keeping the brand book.  The county's copy is
 31  4 delivered to the sheriff.
 31  5    Code section 372.4, unnumbered paragraph 2; 372.5,
 31  6 unnumbered paragraph 3; and 372.12:  The date "July 1, 1975"
 31  7 is inserted as the operative effective date for municipal home
 31  8 rule legislation.  Substituting the date in these provisions
 31  9 eliminates the need for asterisks and footnotes in the Code
 31 10 citing specific session law chapters.
 31 11    Code section 422.6, unnumbered paragraph 1; 422.10,
 31 12 unnumbered paragraph 2; 422.12C(1), unnumbered paragraph 1;
 31 13 and 422D.2:  In the provisions relating to individual income
 31 14 taxes, references to former section 422.11C (relating to the
 31 15 seed capital credit) are stricken.  The section was repealed
 31 16 effective January 1, 1996, pursuant to 1992 Acts, chapter
 31 17 1200, sections 2 and 4.
 31 18    Code section 425.40:  In the section relating to the low-
 31 19 income tax credit and reimbursement fund, a reference to a
 31 20 standing appropriation which was deleted from subsection 1 by
 31 21 item veto in 1993 is stricken.  See 1993 Acts, chapter 180,
 31 22 section 9.
 31 23    Code section 441.73(2) and (4):  Terminology in the section
 31 24 creating the litigation expense fund is corrected.  The
 31 25 section contains two references to the "litigation defense
 31 26 fund".  These appear to be erroneous and are changed to
 31 27 "litigation expense fund" to match the headnote and other
 31 28 references.
 31 29    Code section 455A.11:  In the section requiring the
 31 30 department of natural resources to give preferences in
 31 31 employment in temporary positions in conservation and outdoor
 31 32 recreation, a reference to the former green thumb program and
 31 33 its eligibility requirements is stricken and "lower income
 31 34 persons who are sixty years of age or older" is substituted.
 31 35 These age and income specifications were set out in former
 32  1 Code section 15.227(1)(c).  The new conservation corps
 32  2 provision (section 84A.7, enacted in 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter
 32  3 1186, section 14) mentions programs for the elderly but does
 32  4 not contain details about eligibility for individual programs.
 32  5    Code section 457B.1, article V, paragraph c:  In the
 32  6 portion of the midwest interstate low-level radioactive waste
 32  7 compact relating to the suspension of certain rights of a
 32  8 party state, the word "not" is inserted.  The word was
 32  9 inadvertently omitted in drafting the 1996 amendment.  (See
 32 10 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1051.)  The official language of the
 32 11 compact includes the word "not".
 32 12    Code section 462A.77(3)(b):  In the provision relating to
 32 13 vessel certificates of title, a reference to section 462A.82
 32 14 is corrected by specifying subsections 1 and 2 only (transfers
 32 15 by operation of law).  The change is made because 1996 Iowa
 32 16 Acts, chapter 1020, section 2, expanded the scope of section
 32 17 462A.82 by adding a new subsection 3 from which vessels
 32 18 documented with the coast guard are not exempt.
 32 19    Code section 499.4:  A conforming change is made in chapter
 32 20 499 by adding to those who are authorized to use the term
 32 21 "cooperative" in their names or advertising.  Section 501.104
 32 22 authorizes use of the term by the new type of cooperative
 32 23 corporations established in chapter 501.
 32 24    Code section 501.404(1)(b):  In the new chapter on
 32 25 cooperative corporations, a provision relating to conflicts of
 32 26 interest is amended to specify that the reference is to
 32 27 subsection 2, paragraph "a", which refers to "another entity
 32 28 in which the director has a material financial interest".
 32 29    Code section 501.408:  A correction in terminology is made
 32 30 in a provision adapting the law on indemnification under
 32 31 chapter 490 (corporations) to apply to the new chapter on
 32 32 cooperatives.
 32 33    Code section 502.207B:  In the chapter on securities
 32 34 regulation, obsolete references are deleted from the section
 32 35 requiring reporting to legislative committees.  The seed
 33  1 capital tax credit was repealed effective January 1, 1996.
 33  2    Code section 502.404:  The words" this chapter" are
 33  3 substituted for "this Act" in section relating to securities
 33  4 broker-dealers and agents.  Chapter 502 was newly enacted in
 33  5 1975, and the reference was to 1975 Acts, chapter 234.
 33  6    Code section 505.8(2):  In the provision concerning rules
 33  7 established by the commissioner of insurance, the term
 33  8 "community health management information system" is
 33  9 substituted for the former "state health data commission".
 33 10 CHMIS is the successor organization to the health data
 33 11 commission.
 33 12    Code sections 523A.2(1)(d) and 523E.2(1)(d):  In the
 33 13 chapters regulating the sale of funeral services and
 33 14 merchandise and cemetery merchandise, new sentences
 33 15 authorizing the submission of information in an electronic
 33 16 format are amended by changing "annual reports" to "notices"
 33 17 to fit the context in each case.  Annual reports are covered
 33 18 by the language just preceding these paragraphs.  See 1996
 33 19 Iowa Acts, chapter 1160, sections 1, 2, 11, and 12.
 33 20    Code section 524.1802(2):  In the provision setting out
 33 21 limitations on acquisitions by bank holding companies, a
 33 22 reference to former section 524.1903 is stricken.  That
 33 23 section was one of several sections on regional banking which
 33 24 were repealed by 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1056, section 24.
 33 25    Code section 542B.27(1), unnumbered paragraph 1:  In the
 33 26 section on civil penalties for practicing engineering or land
 33 27 surveying without a license, a reference is changed from
 33 28 "other penalties provided for in this section" to "other
 33 29 penalties provided for in this chapter".
 33 30    Code section 542B.35(2)(c):  A grammatical change is made
 33 31 in a provision relating to real property inspection reports,
 33 32 by substituting "a person shall not claim to be a licensed
 33 33 land surveyor or a professional engineer" for "a person shall
 33 34 not represent themselves as a licensed land surveyor or a
 33 35 professional engineer".
 34  1    Code section 543B.46(3):  In the provision relating to
 34  2 trust accounts of real estate brokers, a reference to "this
 34  3 subsection" is added to replace "this section" where
 34  4 exceptions are made for certain types of individual farm
 34  5 accounts and individual property management accounts.
 34  6    Code section 554.2512(1)(b):  In the section of the Uniform
 34  7 Commercial Code relating to payment by the buyer before
 34  8 inspection of goods, the words "the provisions of" preceding
 34  9 "this chapter" are stricken to conform the language to the
 34 10 Uniform Act adopted in other states.
 34 11    Code section 554.5116(4):  In Article 5 of the Uniform
 34 12 Commercial Code (letters of credit), a reference to Article 12
 34 13 (funds transfers) is added to the list in the provision
 34 14 stating that if there is a conflict between Article 5 and
 34 15 certain other articles, Article 5 governs.  The reference to
 34 16 Article 12 was missed in 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1026, section
 34 17 15, because of failure to translate "Article 4A" for purposes
 34 18 of the Uniform Act into "Article 12" for purposes of the Iowa
 34 19 Code.
 34 20    Code section 554.8111:  In the new section of Article 8 of
 34 21 the Uniform Commercial Code (investment securities) relating
 34 22 to conflicts between the UCC and certain clearing corporation
 34 23 rules, "this chapter" is substituted for "this Article".  It
 34 24 appears from the commentary accompanying the Article 8
 34 25 revisions that a reference to chapter 554 was intended.
 34 26    Code section 554.8205, unnumbered paragraph 1:  In the UCC
 34 27 section relating to unauthorized signatures on security
 34 28 certificates, the word "before" is added.  The word was
 34 29 inadvertently omitted when the section was amended in 1996
 34 30 Iowa Acts, chapter 1138, section 28.
 34 31    Code section 554.8401(1), unnumbered paragraph 1:  In the
 34 32 UCC provision relating to the issuer's duty to register
 34 33 transfers of securities, the words "of an uncertificated
 34 34 security" are inserted in the same manner as included in the
 34 35 Uniform Act.  See 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1138, section 41.
 35  1    Code section 554.9305:  The provision in Article 9 of the
 35  2 Uniform Commercial Code is amended by striking "letters of
 35  3 credit" (section 554.5114).  This language is stricken in the
 35  4 Uniform Act.  See 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1026, section 27.
 35  5    Code section 589.6:  The word "or" is added in a section on
 35  6 instruments affecting real estate, to read "releases or
 35  7 satisfactions of mortgages, judgments, or any other liens".
 35  8 This appears to be the intended meaning of the provision.
 35  9    Code sections 602.8102(32) and 602.8104(2)(j):  In the
 35 10 sections relating to the duties and records of the clerk of
 35 11 the district court, references to the marriage license book
 35 12 and other vital statistics duties which are transferred to the
 35 13 county recorder are stricken.  The county recorder becomes the
 35 14 county registrar of vital statistics effective July 1, 1997.
 35 15 See Code section 144.9.
 35 16    Code section 901A.1(2):  In the definitions section of the
 35 17 chapter on sexually predatory offenses, "section" is changed
 35 18 to "chapter" for the applicability of the term "prior
 35 19 conviction".  The term is not used in the definitions section,
 35 20 but it is used in the next section.
