A council on chemically exposed infants and children is established as a subcommittee of the committee on maternal and child health of the community health division of the Iowa department of public health. The purpose of the council is to help the state develop and implement policies to reduce the likelihood that infants will be born chemically exposed, and to assist those who are born chemically exposed to grow and develop in a safe environment.
As used in this chapter, a "chemically exposed infant or child" is an infant or child who shows evidence of exposure to or the presence of alcohol, cocaine, heroin, amphetamine, methamphetamine, or other illegal drugs or combinations or derivatives thereof which were not prescribed by a health practitioner.
