1 28 EXPLANATION
1 29 IOWA BOARD OF VETERINARY MEDICINE == ELIMINATION OF
1 30 REPORTING REQUIREMENT. This division amends a provision in
1 31 Code chapter 169, the Iowa veterinary practice Act. The Code
1 32 chapter is administered by the Iowa board of veterinary
1 33 medicine within the department of agriculture and land
1 34 stewardship. The division provides that the president and
1 35 secretary of the board must submit a report to the governor
2 1 involving the board's transactions, including financial
2 2 information. The division eliminates that requirement.
2 3 PESTICIDE ACT OF IOWA. This division amends Code chapter
2 4 206 which provides for the regulation of pesticides. Code
2 5 section 206.21 provides that the department may enter onto a
2 6 person's premises in order to take samples of chemicals for
2 7 testing in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of
2 8 this chapter. The division provides that the department may
2 9 also examine pesticide use on the premises.
2 10 MOTOR VEHICLE FUEL DEALERS == ELIMINATION OF VOLUNTARY
2 11 SAMPLING PROCEDURE AND FEE. This division amends Code chapter
2 12 214A regulating dealers of motor vehicle fuel on a wholesale
2 13 or retail basis. The Code chapter provision currently allows
2 14 a dealer to submit a motor vehicle fuel sample or oxygenate
2 15 octane enhancer (alcohol) to the department of agriculture and
2 16 land stewardship for testing. It prescribes procedures for
2 17 taking a test sample and delivering it to the department. The
2 18 dealer must also submit a statement made under oath by a
2 19 "reputable" witness and a $2 fee to the department. The
2 20 division repeals that provision.
