16 14 Division II of this Act repeals Code section 12.65, which

16 27 moneys in the endowment for Iowa's health account are then
16 28 transferred to the healthy Iowans tobacco trust. Under the
16 29 bill, with the repeal of the healthy Iowans tobacco trust the
16 30 moneys deposited in the endowment for Iowa's health account
16 31 are transferred to the general fund of the state instead of

17 2 the healthy Iowans tobacco trust or the endowment for Iowa's
17 3 health account are required to be credited instead to the

17 5 balances of the healthy Iowans tobacco trust at the close of
17 6 FY 2008=2009 or the endowment for Iowa's health account at the
17 7 close of FY 2008=2009 or the close of any succeeding fiscal
