EXPLANATION
   This bill relates to the governor’s office of drug control policy and certain advisory councils.
   The bill updates membership and meeting requirements of the Iowa drug policy advisory council. The bill amends the membership of the Iowa drug policy advisory council to eliminate representation from the Iowa state police association but to include representation from the Iowa police chiefs association. The bill reduces the minimum meeting requirement of the council from meeting at least quarterly to at least semiannually.
   The bill repeals the pseudoephedrine advisory council established in 2009 within the governor’s office of drug control policy. The pseudoephedrine advisory council provides input and advises the governor’s office of drug control policy regarding the implementation and maintenance of the statewide real-time central repository to monitor sales of pseudoephedrine. Members of the council receive actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.
