26 8 appropriated to the state university of Iowa and allocated to
26 9 the college of medicine have been transferred to the
26 10 department of human services as a result of these supplemental
26 11 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall
26 12 not, directly or indirectly, recoup these supplemental
26 13 payments made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless
26 14 an equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the

26 16 pursuant to this paragraph is transferred to the qualifying
26 17 hospital by the department.
