The 26 3 bill reorganizes duties of the department of inspections and 26 4 appeals, transfers the court appointed special advocate 26 5 program to the department of inspections and appeals, 26 6 reorganizes the structure of the department of natural 26 7 resources, and provides for legislative review of agencies. 26 8 In division I of the bill, the definition of the term 26 9 "administrator" is amended throughout Code chapter 10A, 26 10 relating to the department of inspections and appeals, by 26 11 providing a general description of each division 26 12 administrator. 26 13 The duties of the director of the department of inspections 26 14 and appeals in Code section 10A.104 are amended to include 26 15 administration of inspection and licensing of social and 26 16 charitable gambling in place of the inspections division. The 26 17 bill eliminates a provision making the director of the 26 18 department of inspections and appeals' rulemaking authority in 26 19 regard to targeted small business subject to the review and 26 20 approval of the director of the department of management. 26 21 Code section 10A.106, providing a list of the divisions of 26 22 the department, is amended to eliminate the audits division. 26 23 The duties of the investigations division in Code section 26 24 10A.402 are amended to eliminate investigation of proposed 26 25 sales in this state of subdivided land situated outside the 26 26 state and investigation of applications for beer and liquor 26 27 licenses and to add audits of various public assistance 26 28 programs that are subject to investigation by this division 26 29 and the duty to evaluate the results of record checks 26 30 conducted under Code chapter 135C, relating to health 26 31 facilities. 26 32 The duties of the inspections division in Code section 26 33 10A.502 are amended to eliminate responsibility for regulation 26 34 of social and charitable gambling and inspections of 26 35 educational, charitable, correctional, and penal institutions 27 1 and to add responsibility for home food establishments, egg 27 2 handlers, food processing plants, grocery stores, convenience 27 3 stores, temporary food establishments, and mobile food units. 27 4 The bill eliminates the sole authority of the division of 27 5 administrative hearings in Code section 10A.801 for various 27 6 personnel matters concerning administrative law judges. 27 7 In division II, the child advocacy state board is directed 27 8 to work with the court appointed special advocate program to 27 9 develop a plan for merging that program with the citizen 27 10 foster care review process.

The board is to 27 15 report to the governor and general assembly on the two items 27 16 on or before December 16, 2002. 27 17 In division II of the bill, the "state citizen foster care 27 18 review board" created in Code section 237.16 is renamed to be 27 19 the "child advocacy board". That board, which is 27 20 administratively attached to the department of inspections and 27 21 appeals, assumes responsibility for the functions of the court 27 22 appointed special advocate (CASA) program in place of the 27 23 judicial branch. In December 2001, the legislative council 27 24 adopted a resolution providing for the CASA program to be 27 25 administered by the office of the citizens' aide on a 27 26 temporary basis.

Identifying information 27 35 concerning a CASA, other than the CASA's name, is not to be 28 1 considered to be a public record under Code chapter 22, Iowa's 28 2 open records law. 28 3 The newly named child advocacy board membership under Code 28 4 section 232.16 is increased from seven to nine members, a 28 5 definition of CASA is added to Code chapter 237, and 28 6 implementation of the CASA program is added to the board's 28 7 duties. In addition, the board may receive and use 28 8 contributed funds for the board's programs and adopt rules for 28 9 the CASA program. 28 10 In division III, the bill provides for the reorganization 28 11 of the administrative structure of the department of natural 28 12 resources. The current seven divisions of the department that 28 13 are created and named in Code section 455A.7 are stricken.
