8EXPLANATION
9The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
10the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
11This bill relates to programs and services under the purview
12of the department of human services including child care
13assistance, child and family services, foster care, adoption,
14and the dependent adult abuse information registry.
15STATE CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY. Division I relates
16to the state child care assistance (CCA) program. The CCA
17assists families in the payment of child care if the families
18meet certain eligibility guidelines. One circumstance is
19when a child’s parent, guardian, or custodian is absent for
20a limited period of time due to hospitalization, physical
21illness, or mental illness, or is present but is unable to
22care for the child for a limited period of time as verified
23by a physician. The bill eliminates the limited time period
24restriction for this circumstance.
25CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES FOSTER CARE SERVICE PAYMENTS.
26Division II relates to youth aging out of foster care. The
27bill changes the definition of “child” for the purposes of
28Code chapter 234 (child and family services) to mean either
29a person less than 18 years of age or a person 18, 19, or 20
30years of age who was placed by court order issued pursuant
31to Code chapter 232 (juvenile justice) in foster care or in
32an institution under the control, management, direction, and
33operation of the department of human services (DHS) and has
34either, after reaching 18 years of age, remained continuously
35and voluntarily placed with an individual licensed to provide
-5-1foster care pursuant to Code chapter 237 or in a supervised
2apartment living arrangement in Iowa, or left foster care
3after reaching 18 years of age but returned voluntarily for
4placement with an individual licensed to provide foster care
5or in a supervised apartment living arrangement in Iowa; the
6person has demonstrated a willingness to participate in case
7planning and to complete the responsibilities prescribed in the
8person’s case permanency plan; and DHS has made an application
9for the person for adult services upon a determination that it
10is likely the person will need or be eligible for services or
11other support from the adult services system.
12The bill limits payment for foster care services provided to
13a child who is 18 years of age or older to supervised apartment
14living arrangements and individuals licensed to provide foster
15care in Iowa. Under current law, the state is only allowed to
16pay for family foster care or independent living arrangements
17for foster care services for a child who is 18 years of age;
18independent living arrangements for a child who is 19 years of
19age; and any foster care service provider for a child who is
20at imminent risk of becoming homeless or failing to graduate
21from high school or to obtain a general education development
22diploma, if the services are in the child’s best interest,
23funding is available for the services, and an appropriate
24alternative service is unavailable.
25The bill eliminates the requirement that DHS report annually
26to the governor and general assembly by January 1 certain
27information relating to the numbers of children for whom the
28state paid independent living services during the immediately
29preceding fiscal year.
30ADOPTION. Division III relates to adoption. The bill
31requires, if the parents of a person to be adopted had their
32parental rights terminated, a petition for adoption to include
33the names of any known siblings placed separately from the
34person to be adopted and either the plan for ongoing contact
35between the siblings if a court found that continued contact
-6-1is in the best interest of each sibling or a statement that the
2court has found continued contact between the siblings is not
3in the best interest of each sibling.
4The bill requires, if the parents of a person to be adopted
5had their parental rights terminated, a petition for adoption
6to include a copy of any court orders concerning whether
7ongoing contact between the person to be adopted and any
8siblings not placed with the person is in the best interest of
9each sibling.
10The bill requires a preplacement investigation report
11to provide information as to whether, if the parents of
12a prospective adoptive child had their parental rights
13terminated, there are siblings who have not been placed with
14a minor child to be adopted and whether there is an ongoing
15relationship between the siblings or a court order finding
16contact between the siblings is in the best interest of each
17sibling.
18The bill requires an adoption petitioner to provide notice
19of an adoption hearing to any siblings of the person to be
20adopted due to either an ongoing relationship or a court
21finding that ongoing contact is in the best interest of each
22sibling, if the person to be adopted was a minor child when the
23minor child’s parents had their parental rights terminated and
24the person to be adopted and the person’s siblings were not
25placed together.
26The bill requires a juvenile court or court to order the
27opening of the juvenile court or court’s permanent adoption
28record, permanent termination of parental rights record, or
29both, relating to an adopted person who is an adult, upon
30request of the adopted person if the parents of the adopted
31person had their parental rights terminated.
32DEPENDENT ADULT ABUSE PROTECTIVE SERVICES. Division IV
33relates to dependent adult abuse protective services. Under
34current law, if DHS receives an allegation of dependent
35adult abuse, DHS will investigate the allegation and create
-7-1a dependent adult abuse report. The bill allows DHS, during
2the course of an assessment, evaluation, or investigation of a
3report of dependent adult abuse, to disclose the initiation and
4status of the dependent adult abuse evaluation to the dependent
5adult’s bank, savings association, credit union, security
6administrator, broker-dealer, investment advisor, financial
7advisor, or other financial institution, or the commissioner
8of insurance or the commissioner’s deputy if DHS reasonably
9determines that such disclosure is necessary for the protection
10of a dependent adult’s resources.
11The bill authorizes a bank, savings association, credit
12union, security administrator, broker-dealer, investment
13advisor, financial advisor, other financial institution, the
14commissioner of insurance, or the commissioner’s deputy, and
15the social security administration to have access to founded
16dependent adult abuse information of a dependent adult if
17deemed necessary by DHS to protect the dependent adult’s
18resources.
19The bill authorizes the social security administration and
20the commissioner of insurance and the commissioner’s deputy
21access to founded dependent adult abuse information.
22The bill makes a nonsubstantive change to Code section
23237.15 (foster care review).
