  1  2 
  1  3                             AN ACT
  1  4 RELATING TO APPEALS FILED IN CHILD IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE
  1  5    AND TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS PROCEEDINGS.  
  1  6 
  1  7 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:
  1  8 
  1  9    Section 1.  Section 232.133, subsection 2, Code 2003, is
  1 10 amended to read as follows:
  1 11    2.  Except for appeals from an order final orders entered
  1 12 in child in need of assistance proceedings or final orders
  1 13 entered pursuant to section 232.117, appellate procedures
  1 14 shall be governed by the same provisions applicable to appeals
  1 15 from the district court.  The supreme court may prescribe
  1 16 rules to expedite the resolution of appeals from final orders
  1 17 entered in child in need of assistance proceedings or final
  1 18 orders entered pursuant to section 232.117.
  1 19    Sec. 2.  Section 602.4102, subsection 4, Code 2003, is
  1 20 amended to read as follows:
  1 21    4.  A party to an appeal decided by the court of appeals
  1 22 may, as a matter of right, file an application with the
  1 23 supreme court for further review.
  1 24    a.  An application for further review in an appeal from a
  1 25 child in need of assistance or termination of parental rights
  1 26 proceeding shall not be granted by the supreme court unless
  1 27 filed within ten days following the filing of the decision of
  1 28 the court of appeals.
  1 29    b.  An In all other cases, an application for further
  1 30 review shall not be granted by the supreme court unless the
  1 31 application was filed within twenty days following the filing
  1 32 of the decision of the court of appeals.
  1 33    4A.  The court of appeals shall extend the time for filing
  1 34 of an application if the court of appeals determines that a
  1 35 failure to timely file an application was due to the failure
  2  1 of the clerk of the court of appeals to notify the prospective
  2  2 applicant of the filing of the decision.  If an application
  2  3 for further review is not acted upon by the supreme court
  2  4 within thirty days after the application was filed, the
  2  5 application is deemed denied, the supreme court loses
  2  6 jurisdiction, and the decision of the court of appeals is
  2  7 conclusive.
