Adopted and Filed
Rule making related to payment for transportation
The Human Services Department hereby amends Chapter 151, "Juvenile Court Services Directed Programs," Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rule Making
This rule making is adopted under the authority provided in Iowa Code chapter 232.
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rule making implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code section 270.4.
Purpose and Summary
2020 Iowa Acts, Senate File 2284, was enacted by the 88th Session of the Iowa General Assembly and signed by Governor Reynolds on June 17, 2020. This Act relates to matters involving the State Board of Regents and the institutions it governs. Iowa Code section 270.4 was amended to eliminate obligations to counties and institutions for transportation costs of students enrolled in the School for the Deaf and the Braille and Sight Saving School. Chapter 151 is being amended to remove an exclusion for transportation, effectively allowing payment for transportation. Clothing and medical expenses remain the responsibility of counties and institutions, so those will remain in the rule as an exclusion. For reference, the excluded costs in subparagraph 151.22(2)"b"(6) are as follows:
● Payment by counties: Iowa Code section 263.12,
● Braille and Sight Saving School expenses: Iowa Code section 269.2, and
● Clothing and prescriptions for the School for the Deaf: Iowa Code section 270.4.
