 11 34 remain in the underground storage tank insurance fund.
 11 35 Notwithstanding section 12C.7, interest or earnings on moneys
 12  1 in the underground storage tank insurance fund shall be
 12  2 credited to the underground storage tank insurance fund in
 12  3 addition to any other income specifically allocated to the

 12  5    b.  Amounts in the underground storage tank insurance fund
 12  6 shall not be subject to appropriation for any purpose by the
 12  7 general assembly, but shall be used only for the purposes set
 12  8 forth in this section.  The treasurer of state shall act as
 12  9 custodian of the underground storage tank insurance fund and
 12 10 disperse moneys contained in it as directed by the board.  The
 12 11 treasurer of state is authorized to invest the moneys
 12 12 deposited in the underground storage tank insurance fund at
 12 13 the discretion of the board.  The income from such investments
 12 14 shall be credited to and deposited in the underground storage
 12 15 tank insurance fund.  The underground storage tank insurance
 12 16 fund shall be administered by the board which shall make
 12 17 expenditures from the underground storage tank insurance fund
 12 18 consistent with the purposes of the programs provided for in
 12 19 this chapter without further appropriation.
 12 20    c.  No later than July 1, 2004, all moneys in the
 12 21 underground storage tank insurance fund shall be transferred

 12 28    Sec. 32.  Section 455G.11, subsection 2, paragraph c, Code
 12 29 1999, is amended to read as follows:
 12 30    c.  Members of the insurance board are entitled to receive

 12 35    Sec. 33.  Section 455G.11, subsection 8, unnumbered
 13  1 paragraph 1, Code 1999, is amended to read as follows:
 13  2    An owner or operator applying for coverage shall pay an
 13  3 annually adjusted insurance premium for coverage by the
 13  4 insurance fund.  Premiums paid shall be credited to and
 13  5 deposited in the insurance fund.  The board may only approve
 13  6 fund coverage through the payment of a premium established on
 13  7 an actuarially sound basis.  Risk factors shall be taken into
 13  8 account in establishing premiums.  It is the intent of the
 13  9 general assembly that an actuarially sound premium reflect the
 13 10 risk to the insurance fund presented by the insured.  Risk
 13 11 factor adjustments should reflect the range of risk presented
 13 12 by the variety of tank systems, monitoring systems, and risk
 13 13 management practices in the general insurable tank population.
 13 14 Premium adjustments for risk factors should at minimum take
 13 15 into account lifetime costs of a tank and monitoring system
 13 16 and insurance fund premiums for that tank system so as to
 13 17 provide a positive economic incentive to the owner or operator
 13 18 to install the more environmentally safe option so as to
 13 19 reduce the exposure of the insurance fund to loss.
 13 20 Actuarially sound is not limited in its meaning to fund
 13 21 premium revenue equaling or exceeding fund expenditures for
 13 22 the general tank population.
 13 23    Sec. 34.  Section 455G.11, subsection 11, paragraphs a and

 13 29 excess or stop loss coverage provided by the underground
 13 30 storage tank insurance fund to reduce the cost of insurance to
 13 31 such installers or inspectors, and including such other terms
 13 32 and conditions as the board deems necessary and convenient to
 13 33 provide adequate coverage for a certified tank installation at
 13 34 a reasonable premium.  An installer or inspector obtaining
 13 35 insurance coverage pursuant to this paragraph, may purchase
 14  1 excess coverage of up to five million dollars, subject to the
 14  2 terms and conditions as determined by the board.
 14  3    Sec. 35.  Section 455G.13, subsection 12, Code 1999, is
 14  4 amended to read as follows:
 14  5    12.  RECOVERY OR SUBROGATION – INSTALLERS AND INSPECTORS.
 14  6 Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this chapter,

 14  8 right of recovery or right of subrogation against an installer
 14  9 or an inspector insured by the insurance fund for the tank
 14 10 giving rise to the liability other than for recovery of any
 14 11 deductibles paid.
 14 12    Sec. 36.  Section 455G.21, subsection 1, Code 1999, is
 14 13 amended to read as follows:
 14 14    1.  A marketability fund is created as a separate fund in
 14 15 the state treasury under the control of the board.  The board
 14 16 shall administer the marketability fund.  Notwithstanding
 14 17 section 8.33, moneys remaining in the marketability fund at
 14 18 the end of each fiscal year shall not revert to the general
 14 19 fund but shall remain in the marketability fund.  The
 14 20 marketability fund shall include the following:
 14 21    a.  Moneys allocated to the fund pursuant to section
 14 22 423.24, subsection 1, paragraph "a", subparagraph (2).
 14 23    b.  Notwithstanding, notwithstanding section 12C.7,
 14 24 interest earned by the marketability fund or other income
 14 25 specifically allocated to the marketability fund.
 14 26    Sec. 37.  Section 455G.21, subsection 2, paragraph a, Code
 14 27 1999, is amended to read as follows:
 14 28    a.  Five million dollars per year shall be allocated to the
 14 29 The innocent landowners fund which shall be established as a

 14 32 moneys recovered pursuant to cost recovery enforcement under
 14 33 section 455G.13.  Notwithstanding section 455G.1, subsection
 14 34 2, benefits for the costs of corrective action shall be
 14 35 provided to the owner of a petroleum-contaminated property,
 15  1 who is not otherwise eligible to receive benefits under
 15  2 section 455G.9.  An owner of a petroleum-contaminated property
 15  3 shall be eligible for payment of total corrective action costs
 15  4 subject to copayment requirements under section 455G.9,
 15  5 subsection 4.  The board may adopt rules conditioning receipt
 15  6 of benefits under this paragraph to those petroleum-
 15  7 contaminated properties which present a higher degree of risk
 15  8 to the public health and safety or the environment and may
 15  9 adopt rules providing for denial of benefits under this
 15 10 paragraph to a person who did not make a good faith attempt to
 15 11 comply with the provisions of this chapter.  This paragraph
 15 12 does not confer a legal right to an owner of petroleum-
 15 13 contaminated property for receipt of benefits under this
 15 14 paragraph.
 15 15    Sec. 38.  Section 455H.103, subsection 15, Code 1999, is
 15 16 amended by striking the subsection.

 15 35 establish fees sufficient to administer the laws, where
 16  1 appropriate fees are not otherwise provided for in rule or

 16 34 either or both of whom are sixteen or seventeen years of age
 16 35 if both of the following apply:
 17  1    a.  The parents of the underaged party or parties certify
 17  2 in writing that they consent to the marriage.  If one of the
 17  3 parents of any underaged party to a proposed marriage is dead
 17  4 or incompetent the certificate may be executed by the other
 17  5 parent, if both parents are dead or incompetent the guardian
 17  6 of the underaged party may execute the certificate, and if the

 17 16 parties capable of assuming the responsibilities of marriage
 17 17 and that the marriage will serve the best interest of the

 17 20 of the underaged party or parties, however, if pregnancy is
 17 21 involved the court records which pertain to the fact that the
 17 22 female is pregnant shall be sealed and available only to the

 18 23 with mental retardation, as defined in section 222.2,
 18 24 subsection 4.  Identification shall be made by a qualified
 18 25 professional in the area of mental retardation.  In assigning
 18 26 an offender with mental retardation, or an offender with an
 18 27 inadequately developed intelligence or with impaired mental
 18 28 abilities, to a correctional facility, the director shall
 18 29 consider both the program needs and the security needs of the
 18 30 offender.  The director shall consult with the department of
 18 31 human services in providing habilitative services and
 18 32 treatment to offenders with mental illness or mental
 18 33 retardation.  The director may enter into agreements with the
 18 34 department of human services to utilize mental health
 18 35 institutions and share staff and resources for purposes of
 19  1 providing habilitative services and treatment services, as

 19 17 assembly if the general assembly is in session or, if the
 19 18 general assembly is not in session, the legislative council
 19 19 may grant temporary authority, which shall be subject to final
 19 20 approval of the general assembly during the next succeeding

 22 34 amended by striking language which refers to the coordination
 22 35 of the self-employment loan program with the job training
 23  1 partnership program under section 15.108, subsection 6,
 23  2 paragraph "c".  Section 15.108, subsection 6, paragraph "c",
 23  3 was stricken as part of the amendments made to that section
 23  4 under 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1186, and the job training
 23  5 partnership program was transferred from the jurisdiction of
 23  6 the department of economic development to the department of
 23  7 workforce development.
 23  8    Section 87.11.  Unnumbered paragraph 6 of this section is
 23  9 amended to specify that the financial statements, relating to
 23 10 an employer's solvency and financial ability to pay workers'
 23 11 compensation and benefits without additional insurance, are
 23 12 provided to the commissioner of insurance and any disclosure
 23 13 or examination of those statements is subject to the rules of
 23 14 the commissioner of insurance.
 23 15    Section 135C.33.  Subsection 2 is amended to specify that
 23 16 if the department of human services determines pursuant to a
 23 17 child abuse record check that a person who has applied for
 23 18 employment with a health care facility licensed by the
 23 19 department of inspections and appeals has a record of founded
 23 20 child abuse, the department of human services is to notify the
 23 21 licensee that an evaluation will be conducted to determine
 23 22 whether the person's employment is warranted.  Although the
 23 23 term "department" is defined under chapter 135C to mean the
 23 24 department of inspections and appeals, because it is the
 23 25 department of human services which has access to the child
 23 26 abuse registry information under section 232.71D, the term as
 23 27 used in the amended sentence refers to the department of human
 23 28 services.
 23 29    Sections 144.36 and 144.46.  Subsection 4 of section 144.36
 23 30 and section 144.46 are amended to correct references to the
 23 31 subsections requiring the collection and forwarding or
 23 32 retaining of certain fees by county registrars under section
 23 33 331.605.  1995 Iowa Acts, chapter 124, section 11, added new
 23 34 subsections 6 and 7 to section 331.605.  The subsections were
 23 35 renumbered during the codification process.  However,
 24  1 references to the new subsections, one of which was contained
 24  2 in this section, were not corrected to reflect that
 24  3 renumbering.  Subsection 5 of section 331.605 relates to the
 24  4 county fee for birth records, death records, or marriage
 24  5 certificates; subsection 6 refers to the filing fee for
 24  6 licenses to marry; and subsection 7 refers to other fees as
 24  7 provided by law.
 24  8    Sections 147.111 and 147.112.  The term "serious bodily
 24  9 injury" is amended by striking the word "bodily" to conform
 24 10 the usage of the term within these sections to the term as
 24 11 referenced and defined in Code section 702.18.  Both sections
 24 12 refer to the reporting of certain wounds which appear to have
 24 13 been received in connection with the commission of a criminal
 24 14 offense.
 24 15    Section 166.6.  Unnumbered paragraph 1 of this section is
 24 16 amended to change the bond amount listed for dealers in
 24 17 biological products for each place of business from $1,000 to
 24 18 $5,000.  The change conforms the bond amount to the bond
 24 19 amount specified for dealers for each place of business under
 24 20 section 166.13, subsection 1.
 24 21    Section 216.15B.  Subsection 1 is amended by converting the
 24 22 definition of the term "mediator" to a requirement that the
 24 23 civil rights commission designate a person as mediator to
 24 24 conduct mediation under the civil rights chapter.  1998 Iowa
 24 25 Acts, chapter 1062, struck former subsections 2 and 3 of this
 24 26 section, which contained all other uses of the term "mediator"
 24 27 in section 215.15B and which had previously necessitated the
 24 28 definition of the term in subsection 1.
 24 29    Section 216A.78.  Language which states that the
 24 30 administrator of the commission of persons with disabilities
 24 31 may be an employee of another agency and which permits the
 24 32 commission to appoint personnel for the administration of
 24 33 policies and programs of the commission is stricken.  The
 24 34 striking of the language conforms the section to sections
 24 35 216A.2 and 216A.71, which provide that the administrator of
 25  1 the commission is the director of the department of human
 25  2 rights and that the director has the responsibility for
 25  3 coordination and supervision of personnel for the various
 25  4 divisions of the department.
 25  5    Sections 216B.3, 262.9, and 307.21.  Subsection 14 of
 25  6 section 216B.3, subsection 6 of section 262.9, and subsection
 25  7 4, paragraph "b", of section 307.21 are amended by striking a
 25  8 requirement that information regarding on-site review of waste
 25  9 management in product bidding and contract procedures be
 25 10 required under section 18.6 for institutions under the
 25 11 commission for the blind and the state board of regents.
 25 12 Under 1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1164, section 12, and chapter
 25 13 1119, section 15, that requirement was stricken from section
 25 14 18.6.
 25 15    Section 260C.47.  Subsection 1, unnumbered paragraph 1, is
 25 16 amended by striking a reference to a joint agreement between
 25 17 the department of education and the community colleges
 25 18 regarding an accreditation process for community colleges that
 25 19 was to be reached by July 1, 1997.  The Code section and
 25 20 subsection referenced have been stricken from the Code.
 25 21    Sections 312.2 and 321.34.  Subsection 17 of section 312.2
 25 22 and subsection 11B of section 321.34 are amended by changing a
 25 23 reference to section 321.189, subsection 9, to a reference to
 25 24 section 321.180B.  1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1112, repealed the
 25 25 motorcycle rider education fund established in subsection 9 of
 25 26 section 321.189 and reestablished the fund in new section
 25 27 321.180B.
 25 28    Section 321.20B.  The amendment strikes the limitation on
 25 29 persons who may seek to have a citation dismissed when issued
 25 30 a citation for failure to provide proof of financial liability
 25 31 coverage.  1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1121, provided a procedure
 25 32 for persons who were issued such a citation by a peace officer
 25 33 to have the citation dismissed if the person produces to the
 25 34 clerk of court within 30 days of the issuance of the citation
 25 35 proof that financial liability coverage was in effect.  As
 26  1 drafted, however, the bill permitted only persons who were
 26  2 issued a citation and either had their plates and registration
 26  3 removed or had their car impounded to have the citation
 26  4 dismissed.  Persons who were simply issued the citation were
 26  5 not given that option.
 26  6    Section 321G.4.  Unnumbered paragraph 2 is amended to
 26  7 conform the registration fee for all-terrain vehicles or
 26  8 snowmobiles to the fee as specified in section 321G.6.  1997
 26  9 Iowa Acts, chapter 148, raised the fee amount for such
 26 10 registrations, but this section was not amended.
 26 11    Section 322B.3.  Subsection 5, which pertains to mobile
 26 12 home hookups, is amended by changing punctuation in the
 26 13 section to conform the operation of the section with the
 26 14 apparent intent to allow mobile home dealers and their
 26 15 employees to perform the connections necessary to hook up a
 26 16 mobile home to utility services.  As drafted, the subsection
 26 17 would appear to extend the duties to connections within the
 26 18 mobile home itself, not just to the mobile home.
 26 19    Section 357A.24.  Subsections 3 and 4 are amended to
 26 20 conform use of the term "board of supervisors" within
 26 21 provisions dealing with detachment and attachment of areas to
 26 22 rural water districts to the definitions for the term which
 26 23 are contained in section 357A.1.
 26 24    Section 420.207.  A reference to section 437.14 is stricken
 26 25 from this provision which relates to taxation provisions which
 26 26 apply to cities acting under special charters.  Section 437.14
 26 27 was repealed by 1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1194.
 26 28    Section 422.9.  Subsection 1, paragraph "i", which relates
 26 29 to computation of tax deductions for medical expenses, is
 26 30 amended to change a reference from section 422.7, subsection
 26 31 32, to section 422.7, subsection 29.  1998 Iowa Acts, chapter
 26 32 1174, struck former subsections 29 through 31 of section 422.7
 26 33 and former subsections 32 through 34 were renumbered as
 26 34 subsections 29 through 31.  Correction of this internal
 26 35 reference to former subsection 32 was inadvertently missed in
 27  1 the renumbering process.
 27  2    Section 435.26.  Subsection 3 of section 435.26 is amended
 27  3 to delete references to modular homes.  1998 Iowa Acts,
 27  4 chapter 1107, removed modular homes from certain aspects of
 27  5 the scope of chapter 435, which relates to taxes on homes in
 27  6 mobile home parks.
 27  7    Section 437A.3.  The word "excise" is added, in subsection
 27  8 28, before the word "tax" in the definition of the term
 27  9 "transfer replacement tax" in the chapter relating to taxes on
 27 10 electricity and natural gas providers.  The transfer
 27 11 replacement tax is one of two taxes imposed under the chapter
 27 12 to replace the property taxes previously imposed on those
 27 13 providers.  The other tax, the "replacement tax", which is
 27 14 defined in subsection 23 and which is designated as an excise
 27 15 tax, is imposed and has the same character as the transfer
 27 16 replacement tax defined in this section.
 27 17    Section 441.21.  Subsection 2 of this section, which
 27 18 pertains to the taxation of personal property, is stricken.
 27 19 Personal property is no longer taxed in Iowa.
 27 20    Section 455B.202.  Subsection 2, paragraph "b", of this
 27 21 section is amended to specify that the persons who are
 27 22 restricted from constructing or expanding an animal feeding
 27 23 operating structure which is part of a confinement feed
 27 24 operation are those persons who have personally committed a
 27 25 violation of requirements pertaining to confinement feeding
 27 26 operations or those persons who have a controlling interest in
 27 27 a confinement feeding operation which committed a violation.
 27 28    Section 455B.203A.  Subsection 5, paragraph "b",
 27 29 subparagraph (2), unnumbered paragraph 1, which contains an
 27 30 exception to the requirement that a person be certified as a
 27 31 confinement site manure applicator prior to engaging in
 27 32 certain activities, is amended to specify that the requirement
 27 33 does not apply to persons who are acting under the
 27 34 instructions and control of a certified confinement site
 27 35 manure applicator, instead of a certified commercial manure
 28  1 applicator.
 28  2    Sections 455G.8, 455G.11, 455G.13, and 455G.21.  The
 28  3 amendments to these sections make corrections which relate to
 28  4 the operation of the Iowa petroleum underground storage tank
 28  5 program.  Changes made in subsection 2 of section 455G.8 and
 28  6 subsections 1 and 2 of section 455G.8 delete references to use
 28  7 tax revenue allocations to the marketability and innocent
 28  8 landowner's funds.  The use tax revenues were retroactively
 28  9 transferred to the department of economic development under
 28 10 1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1207, leaving no use tax revenue
 28 11 available for allocation in the marketability fund.  The
 28 12 balance of the changes relate to the separation of the former
 28 13 insurance account from the Iowa underground storage tank fund
 28 14 and the creation of a separate underground tank insurance
 28 15 fund.  Language remaining in subsection 4 of section 455G.8 is
 28 16 moved to subsection 8 of section 455G.11 to reflect the
 28 17 separation of the two funds and references to the term "fund"
 28 18 are changed to "underground storage tank insurance fund" or
 28 19 "insurance fund" to specify that the fund referred to is not
 28 20 the "fund" as defined under section 455G.2.
 28 21    Section 486A.906.  Subsection 3, paragraphs "b" and "c",
 28 22 are amended to specify that, in the event of a merger of two
 28 23 partnerships under the Uniform Partnership Act provisions
 28 24 which were adopted pursuant to 1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1201,
 28 25 certain obligations incurred prior and subsequent to the
 28 26 merger must be satisfied out of the assets of the surviving
 28 27 entity.
 28 28    Section 505.8.  Subsection 2 of this section is amended by
 28 29 striking references to duties of the commissioner of insurance
 28 30 which relate to obtaining data for the community health
 28 31 management information system.  The chapter establishing the
 28 32 community health management information system was repealed
 28 33 pursuant to 1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1119.
 28 34    Section 524.1202.  Subsection 2, paragraph "b", is amended
 28 35 by striking language which permits state banks to have an
 29  1 additional bank office when the state bank is located in a
 29  2 municipal corporation or urban complex which is located on a
 29  3 boundary of this state and is contiguous to a municipal
 29  4 corporation in another state.  1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1033,
 29  5 struck the limitation on the number of bank offices that a
 29  6 state bank may have in this state.
 29  7    Section 524.1213.  Subsection 3, unnumbered paragraph 1, is
 29  8 amended to strike a reference to subsection 12.  The reference
 29  9 was to former subsection 12, not current subsection 12, and
 29 10 former subsection 12 was stricken in 1998 Iowa Acts, chapter
 29 11 1033, section 3.
 29 12    Section 595.2.  Subsection 4 is amended by specifying that
 29 13 the conditions referred to in paragraphs "a" and "b" are the
 29 14 conditions which relate to the issuance of a marriage license
 29 15 to a male and a female who are 16 or 17 years of age.  Former
 29 16 paragraph "c", which does not state a condition, is
 29 17 redesignated as subsection 5.
 29 18    Section 708.2A.  Subsection 6, paragraph "b", is amended to
 29 19 change references to sections 901.5 and 907.3, by adding
 29 20 references to subsections 1 and 5 of section 901.5, and by
 29 21 deleting a reference to subsection 3 of section 907.3.  Given
 29 22 the language relating to suspended or deferred sentences and
 29 23 deferred judgments in the balance of the sentence, it is
 29 24 apparent that these references should be added.
 29 25    Section 904.108.  Subsection 1, paragraph "d", is amended
 29 26 to conform the habilitative services and treatment to be
 29 27 provided by the department of human services to the term as
 29 28 defined in the paragraph.
 29 29    Section 915.10.  Subsection 3 is amended to include victims
 29 30 of delinquent acts within the definition of victim in this
 29 31 subsection.  This definition is referenced in subchapter II of
 29 32 chapter 915 which pertains to victims of juveniles.
 29 33    Section 915.41.  The words "of a victim" are added after
 29 34 the words "medical examination" and "treatment" to specify
 29 35 that it is the victim's medical examination and treatment
 30  1 costs which are to be paid from the victim compensation fund
 30  2 established in section 915.94.  This change is consistent with
 30  3 the interpretation of the section, formerly section 709.10, as
 30  4 expressed in the administrative rules which pertain to the
 30  5 victim compensation fund.
 30  6    Sections 915.42 and 915.43.  Subsection 4, paragraph "a",
 30  7 and subsection 11 of section 915.42 are amended to add the
 30  8 words "or alleged" after the word "convicted" and before the
 30  9 word "offender".  1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1087, expanded the
 30 10 scope of provisions requiring offenders to submit to HIV-
 30 11 related tests to include alleged offenders.  Subsection 6 is
 30 12 amended to add, in the procedure by which a victim or
 30 13 petitioner may seek to compel submission by a convicted or
 30 14 alleged offender to HIV-related testing, the words "or victim"
 30 15 to specify that an authorized representative of a victim of
 30 16 sexual assault could have been one of the individuals who
 30 17 sought to obtain written informed consent to HIV-related
 30 18 testing from the convicted or alleged offender.
 30 19    Section 915.50.  Subsection 2 is amended to conform
 30 20 language relating to the amount of assistance provided by law
 30 21 enforcement officers to victims in obtaining transportation to
 30 22 medical care in domestic abuse matters, to the language
 30 23 referred to in section 236.12.
 30 24    Section 915.100.  Subsection 2 is amended to conform the
 30 25 language contained in paragraph "h" to the language in section
 30 26 910.15, which is referenced in this paragraph.  Section 910.15
 30 27 pertains to actions by the attorney general to recover moneys
 30 28 and other property received or owed as a result of the
 30 29 commission of a felony offense and to distribute the moneys or
 30 30 property to victims and the convicted felon.
 30 31    Section 236A.1.  This section is repealed because 1998 Iowa
 30 32 Acts, chapter 1090, enacted the identical provision as new
 30 33 section 915.20A and changed all references to this section to
 30 34 refer to the new section 915.20A.
 30 35    Section 307.38.  Section 307.38, which relates to public
 31  1 transit loans, is repealed.  All events and activities to
 31  2 which the section relates have taken place.
 31  3    Sections 428.9, 428.11, 428.13, 428.14, 428.15, 428.34,
 31  4 428.36, and 441.30.  These sections, which pertain to the
 31  5 taxation of personal property, are repealed.  Personal
 31  6 property is no longer taxed in Iowa.
 31  7    Sections 455H.103, 455H.501, and 455H.502.  Subsection 15
 31  8 of section 455H.103 and these other two sections are repealed
 31  9 because the technical advisory committee and the department
 31 10 have completed all of the duties required by these sections
 31 11 and the technical advisory committee has been disbanded and
 31 12 ceases to function as required under subsection 2, paragraph
 31 13 "e", of section 455H.502.
 31 14    Section 505.20.  This section is repealed due to the repeal
 31 15 of chapter 144C, which established the community health
 31 16 management information system, by 1998 Iowa Acts, chapter
 31 17 1119.  Because the community health management information
 31 18 system no longer exists, the commissioner no longer performs
 31 19 these duties.
 31 20    Chapter 7G.  This chapter, which establishes the various
 31 21 commissions in charge of the Iowa statehood sesquicentennial,
 31 22 is repealed.  The state commission has completed its duties
 31 23 and the final audit has been completed.  The county
 31 24 commissions expired under subsection 3 of section 7G.2 on June
 31 25 30, 1997, and all assets were required to be transferred to
 31 26 local historical societies under that subsection at that time.
 31 27    1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1138, section 35.  This section of
 31 28 the 1998 Iowa Acts is amended to conform the effective date to
 31 29 the effective date of 1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1011.  The
 31 30 division of chapter 1138 to which the effective date applies
 31 31 amended chapter 1011, which relates to workplace drug testing,
 31 32 and the effective dates of this division of chapter 1138 and
 31 33 chapter 1011 were intended to be the same.  This section is
 31 34 effective upon enactment and retroactively applicable to April
 31 35 16, 1998.
 32  1    1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1209, section 28.  This provision
 32  2 is amended by changing a reference to section 445B.201,
 32  3 subsection 4, to a reference to section 455B.201, subsection
 32  4 4.  Section 445B.201 does not exist and, from previous
 32  5 versions of the Act as it was progressing through the
 32  6 legislative process, it is apparent that reference to section
 32  7 455B.201 was intended.  This section is effective upon
 32  8 enactment and is retroactively applicable to July 1, 1998.
 32  9    1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1209, section 53.  This section is
 32 10 amended to specify that where amendments to certain existing
 32 11 Code sections were made that included the words "effective
 32 12 date of this section", those words related to the effective
 32 13 date of the enactments or amendments to those Code sections
 32 14 and not to the original effective date of the Code section.
 32 15 This section is effective upon enactment and is retroactively
 32 16 applicable to May 21, 1998.
