3 6 other assistance for which a person's eligibility or financial
3 7 obligation is determined based upon the consideration of the
3 8 person's income. For such programs, to the extent allowable
3 9 under federal requirements, an individual's expenditures to
3 10 comply with the proof of liability coverage law are to be
3 11 excluded from income in determining the individual's
3 12 eligibility or financial obligation.

3 15 of the department of human rights in new Code section 216A.7,
