State or Federal Law Implemented

This rule making implements, in whole or in part, 2017 Iowa Acts, House File 653, division XXIII, and 2018 Iowa Acts, Senate File 2418, section 110.

Purpose and Summary

The amendments are minor cleanup actions related to recent legislation. 2018 Iowa Acts, Senate File 2418, section 110, updated the name of the "oral health bureau" to the "oral and health delivery system bureau."
