In order to implement the legislative intent stated in 14 sections 135.106 and 256I.9, that priority for home visitation 15 program funding be given to programs using evidenced-based or 16 promising models for home visitation, it is the intent of the 17 general assembly to phase-in the funding priority as follows: 18 (1) By July 1, 2013, 25 percent of state funds expended 19 for home visiting programs are for evidence based or promising 20 program models. 21 (2) By July 1, 2014, 50 percent of state funds expended for 22 home visiting programs are for evidenced-based or promising 23 program models. 24 (3) By July 1, 2015, 75 percent of state funds expended 25 for home visiting programs are for evidence based or promising 26 program models. 27 (4) By July 1, 2016, 90 percent of state funds expended 28 for home visiting programs are for evidence-based or promising 29 program models.

For the purposes of this subsection, unless the context 33 requires: 34 (1) “Evidence-based program” means a program that is based 35 -10- SF 2321 (5) 84 kh/tm/jh 10/ 32
S.F. 2321 on scientific evidence demonstrating that the program model 1 is effective. An evidence-based program shall be reviewed 2 onsite and compared to program model standards by the model 3 developer or the developer’s designee at least every five years 4 to ensure that the program continues to maintain fidelity 5 with the program model. The program model shall have had 6 demonstrated significant and sustained positive outcomes in an 7 evaluation utilizing a well-designed and rigorous randomized 8 controlled research design or a quasi-experimental research 9 design, and the evaluation results shall have been published in 10 a peer-reviewed journal. 11 (2) “Family support programs” includes group-based parent 12 education or home visiting programs that are designed to 13 strengthen protective factors, including parenting skills, 14 increasing parental knowledge of child development, and 15 increasing family functioning and problem solving skills. A 16 family support program may be used as an early intervention 17 strategy to improve birth outcomes, parental knowledge, family 18 economic success, the home learning environment, family and 19 child involvement with others, and coordination with other 20 community resources. A family support program may have a 21 specific focus on preventing child maltreatment or ensuring 22 children are safe, healthy, and ready to succeed in school. 23 (3) “Promising program” means a program that meets all of 24 the following requirements: 25 (a) The program conforms to a clear, consistent family 26 support model that has been in existence for at least three 27 years. 28 (b) The program is grounded in relevant empirically-based 29 knowledge. 30 (c) The program is linked to program-determined outcomes. 31 (d) The program is associated with a national or state 32 organization that either has comprehensive program standards 33 that ensure high-quality service delivery and continuous 34 program quality improvement or the program model has 35 -11- SF 2321 (5) 84 kh/tm/jh 11/ 32
S.F. 2321 demonstrated through the program’s benchmark outcomes that the 1 program has achieved significant positive outcomes equivalent 2 to those achieved by program models with published significant 3 and sustained results in a peer-reviewed journal. 4 (e) The program has been awarded the Iowa family support 5 credential and has been reviewed onsite at least every five 6 years to ensure the program’s adherence to the Iowa family 7 support standards approved by the early childhood Iowa 8 state board created in section 256I.3 or a comparable set of 9 standards. The onsite review is completed by an independent 10 review team that is not associated with the program or the 11 organization administering the program. 12 e. (1) The data reporting requirements adopted by the early 13 childhood Iowa state board pursuant to section 256I.4 for the 14 family support programs targeted to families expecting a child 15 or with newborn and infant children through age five and funded 16 through the board shall require the programs to participate 17 in a state administered internet-based data collection system 18 by July 1, 2013. The data reporting requirements shall be 19 developed in a manner to provide for compatibility with local 20 data collection systems. The state board’s annual report 21 submitted each January to the governor and general assembly 22 under section 256I.4 shall include family support program 23 outcomes beginning with the January 2015 report. 24 (2) The data on families served that is collected by the 25 family support programs funded through the early childhood 26 Iowa initiative shall include but is not limited to basic 27 demographic information, services received, funding utilized, 28 and program outcomes for the children and families served.
