  5  4 by law, and shall not be eligible for suspension of the
  5  5 minimum sentence.  The minimum term shall be served on
  5  6 consecutive days.  The court shall not impose a fine in lieu
  5  7 of the minimum sentence, although a fine may be imposed in
  5  8 addition to the minimum sentence.  This section does not
  5  9 prohibit the court from sentencing and the defendant person
  5 10 from serving the maximum term of confinement or from paying
  5 11 the maximum fine permitted pursuant to chapters 902 and 903,
  5 12 and does not prohibit the court from entering a deferred

  5 16 section which was issued on a domestic abuse assault.
  5 17 However, once the defendant has received one deferred sentence
  5 18 or judgment involving a violation of section 708.2 or this
  5 19 section which was issued on a domestic abuse assault, the
  5 20 defendant shall not be eligible to receive another deferred

  5 29 cannot be suspended; however, the person sentenced shall
  5 30 receive credit for any time the person was confined in a jail
  5 31 or detention facility following arrest.
  5 32    7.  If a defendant person is convicted for, receives a
  5 33 deferred judgment for, or pleads guilty to a violation of this
  5 34 section, the court shall modify the no-contact order issued
  5 35 upon initial appearance in the manner provided in section
  6  1 236.14, regardless of whether the defendant person is placed
  6  2 on probation.

  6 10 batterers' treatment program.  The clerk of the district court
  6 11 shall send a copy of the judgment or deferred judgment to the
  6 12 judicial district department of correctional services.
  6 13    Sec. 15.  EFFECTIVE AND APPLICABILITY DATES.  The section
  6 14 which amends section 669.2, subsection 4, of this Act, being
  6 15 deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment
  6 16 and applies retroactively to July 1, 1996.  
  6 17                           EXPLANATION
  6 18    This bill contains statutory corrections which may adjust
  6 19 language to reflect current practices, insert earlier
  6 20 omissions, delete redundancies and inaccuracies, delete
  6 21 temporary language, resolve inconsistencies and conflicts,
  6 22 update ongoing provisions, or remove ambiguities.
  6 23    Code section 74A.6(1):  Adds the superintendent of credit
  6 24 unions to the committee to establish maximum interest rates
  6 25 for certain public obligations and assessments.  This
  6 26 parallels the change made by 1996 Acts, chapter 1021, section
  6 27 1, for membership of the committee in Code section 12C.6 which
  6 28 establishes minimum interest rates for certain deposits.
  6 29    Code section 124.406(1)(a) and (2)(a):  Expand the areas
  6 30 within which a person distributing controlled substances to a
  6 31 minor is subject to an increased penalty to include the real
  6 32 property surrounding a public swimming pool, public park, or
  6 33 public recreation center which comprises the pool, public
  6 34 park, or recreation center.  These changes conform to the
  6 35 amendments to Code sections 124.401A and 124.401B in 1996
  7  1 Acts, chapter 1164, sections 5 and 6.
  7  2    Code sections 190.14(1), 191.9(1), 192.102, and 192.110(2):
  7  3 Update references to the "Grade 'A' Pasteurized Milk
  7  4 Ordinance, 1993 Revision" by changing the year to 1995 in Code
  7  5 section 192.102 and removing the reference to the year in the
  7  6 other sections.  These amendments are included at the request
  7  7 of the Iowa department of agriculture and land stewardship.
  7  8    Code sections 542B.10; 542C.3(3), unnumbered paragraph 2;
  7  9 544A.4; and 544B.6:  In provisions relating to reports by the
  7 10 engineering and land surveying examining board, the
  7 11 accountancy examining board, the architectural examining
  7 12 board, and the landscape architectural examining board, strike
  7 13 requirements for the inclusion of information on receipts and
  7 14 disbursements.  These changes were requested by the
  7 15 professional licensing and regulation division of the
  7 16 department of commerce based on budget and reporting practices
  7 17 which have been in use since the 1986 state government
  7 18 reorganization.  Finances for the individual boards are part
  7 19 of the budget for the professional licensing division.  The
  7 20 governor, through the department of management, has access to
  7 21 the financial information on a daily basis.
  7 22    Code section 669.2(4):  In the definition of "employee of
  7 23 the state" for tort claim purposes, changes the placement of
  7 24 the new reference to employees of the commission of veterans
  7 25 affairs so that it does not disrupt the phrase "jurisdiction
  7 26 of the department of human services or the Iowa department of
  7 27 corrections".  See 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1165, section 1.
  7 28    Code section 692A.1(6)(h):  In the definition of sexually
  7 29 violent offenses for purposes of the sex offender registry,
  7 30 makes the list of offenses the same whether committed in this
  7 31 state or in another jurisdiction.  Three types of offenses
  7 32 were added by 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1132, section 2.  These
  7 33 were telephone dissemination of obscene materials, rental or
  7 34 sale of hard-core pornography, and indecent exposure.
  7 35 However, they were not added to the list of those covered if
  8  1 committed in another jurisdiction.
  8  2    Code section 708.2A(6), (7), and (9):  In provisions
  8  3 relating to penalties for domestic abuse assault, change the
  8  4 term "defendant" to the word "person" to conform the language
  8  5 of the provision internally and with other usage in Code
  8  6 chapter 708.  The mandatory minimum sentencing for third or
  8  7 subsequent domestic abuse assault convictions language is
  8  8 conformed with mandatory minimum sentencing language
  8  9 applicable to other felonies under Code chapter 902.
  8 10 Redundant language relating to issuance of deferred judgments
  8 11 or sentences for domestic abuse assault convictions is
  8 12 stricken.  Identical language is contained in Code section
  8 13 907.3, which pertains to imposition of deferred judgments,
  8 14 deferred sentences, or suspended sentences.
