14 35 section 12.65 for the healthy Iowans tobacco trust as the
15 1 purposes for the endowment for Iowa's health account. The
15 2 purposes are those related to health care, substance abuse

15 24 FY 2008=2009 or the endowment for Iowa's health account at the
15 25 close of FY 2008=2009 or the close of any succeeding fiscal
