The changes would result 12 25 in the individual being deemed to have provided consent to an 12 26 HIV test following submission of a significant exposure report 12 27 by the care provider. The bill also provides that the results 12 28 of the test may be shared with the care provider. 12 29 The amendments to Code section 147.5 and to Code section 12 30 147.40 eliminate the requirement that health care professional 12 31 licensing boards maintain a handwritten registry book and 12 32 identify on every license issued, the entry into the registry 12 33 book of such license. 12 34 The amendment to Code section 148.5 changes the period of 12 35 licensure for resident physicians from one year to a period as 13 1 determined by the board of medical examiners. 13 2 The amendment to Code section 148A.6 eliminates the right 13 3 of a physical therapist assistant to petition the physical 13 4 therapy examiners board for a waiver of the education 13 5 requirements otherwise required. 13 6 New Code section 148B.3A provides that occupational 13 7 therapists may provide occupational therapy without referral 13 8 from a physician, podiatric physician, dentist, or 13 9 chiropractor, except that a hospital may require review and 13 10 authorization by a member of the hospital medical staff prior 13 11 to performance of the occupational therapy. 13 12 The amendment to Code section 148B.5 corrects language 13 13 relating to the organization specified to accredit 13 14 occupational therapy education programs. 13 15 The amendment to Code section 150A.9 changes the period of 13 16 licensure for osteopathic physicians and surgeons from one 13 17 year to a period as determined by the board of medical 13 18 examiners. 13 19 The amendment to Code section 152.7 eliminates language 13 20 which provided a means for students who were enrolled in a 13 21 course of study for registered nurses on June 30, 1995, and 13 22 thereby impacted by changes in the law made in 1995, to apply 13 23 that education to a license as a practical nurse. 13 24 The amendments to Code sections 154A.11 and 154A.12 13 25 eliminate the use of practical examinations for licensure of 13 26 audiologists. 13 27 The amendment to Code section 154C.3 requires an applicant 13 28 for licensure as an independent social worker to possess a 13 29 master's or doctoral degree specifically in social work. 13 30 The amendments to Code section 156.4 eliminate oral 13 31 examinations and an internship proficiency requirement for 13 32 licensure as a funeral director. 13 33 New Code section 156.8A provides for the establishment of 13 34 practicums in mortuary science through rule of the board of 13 35 mortuary science examiners and directs the board, by rule, to 14 1 regulate the registration, training, and fees for such 14 2 practicums. 14 3 The amendment to Code section 595.13 eliminates the 14 4 required issuance of a copy of a marriage certificate by the 14 5 officiating minister or magistrate to the parties to the 14 6 marriage. 14 7 The amendment to Code section 691.6 expands the duties of 14 8 the state medical examiner. The bill authorizes the state 14 9 medical examiner to retain fees associated with autopsies and 14 10 stipulates that any funds collected by the state medical 14 11 examiner, which remain unexpended at the end of the state 14 12 fiscal year, are not to revert to the general fund of the 14 13 state. The bill authorizes the state medical examiner to 14 14 conduct death investigations, inquiries, and hearings, and 14 15 provides the office with administrative subpoena power. The 14 16 bill directs the state medical examiner to adopt 14 17 administrative rules governing the state medical examiners 14 18 office and the relationship between the state office and 14 19 county medical examiners. 14 20 The amendment to Code section 801.4 provides that the state 14 21 medical examiner, a deputy of the state medical examiner, and 14 22 any employee of the office of the state medical examiner 14 23 designated by the state medical examiner, are included in the 14 24 definition of a peace officer. 14 25 The bill repeals Code section 135.19, thereby eliminating 14 26 the requirement that the department of agriculture and land 14 27 stewardship and the board of pharmacy examiners collect and 14 28 deliver samples of venereal disease prophylactics to the IDPH. 14 29 The bill directs the Iowa department of public health in 14 30 cooperation with the labor commissioner to conduct a study of 14 31 state and federal laws and regulations relating to protection 14 32 of persons who may be at risk of needlestick injuries in the 14 33 course of employment, with a report to be submitted to the 14 34 governor and the general assembly by December 15, 2000. 14 35 LSB 5320HV 78 15 1 pf/cf/24
