Senate File 519 attempts to define more specifically than current code the appropriate uses and users of the Iowa Communications Network (ICN). The bill adds definitions to Code section 8D.2 for "authorized use", "authorized user", "educational use", "library", "state agency", and "telemedicine". The bill authorizes certain uses of the network. It prohibits dial-up access to the internet by an authorized user from a remote site. Last year, the Legislature authorized an Authorized User and Use Task Force. The Task Force succeeded in defining "Authorized User" and the Iowa Telecommunication and Technology Commission is currently promulgating new rules that implement the consensus developed by the Task Force on this issue. The Task Force failed to reach a consensus on remote dial-up access to the ICN for Internet services. The overriding mission of the network is to foster educational opportunities to all areas of the state. Closely scrutinizing actions that significantly impact the network ensures that the network's mission is not impaired. Unfortunately, Senate File 519 unduly restricts dial-up access to the network to the detriment of important users of the network. For example, Senate File 519 would require our higher education institutions to dramatically change the educational services offered to the students or face significant additional financial burdens. Our Regent institutions have offered student dial-up access to the Internet since 1987; Senate File 519 requires a change to that policy. More study is needed to ensure that the limitations placed on dial-up access do not unnecessarily restrict the quality of education in Iowa. For the above reasons, I hereby respectfully disapprove Senate File 519. Sincerely, TERRY E. BRANSTAD Governor 102nd Day THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1997 1437 SUBCOMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS House Concurrent Resolution 22 WAYS AND MEANS: Douglas, Chair; Drake and Szymoniak House File 730 APPROPRIATIONS: Rife, Chair; Kramer and Neuhauser House File 731 APPROPRIATIONS: Lundby, Chair; Flynn and McLaren House File 732 APPROPRIATIONS: Maddox, Chair; Douglas, Harper, Kramer and Vilsack CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT RECEIVED (Senate File 529) A conference committee report signed by the following Senate and House members was filed April 24, 1997, on Senate File 529, a bill for an act relating to and making appropriations to certain state departments, agencies, funds, and certain other entities, providing for regulatory authority, and other properly related matters: On the Part of the Senate: On the Part of the House: MARY A.
