                    HOUSE RESOLUTION NO.    
                             BY  MILLER
  1  1 A Resolution requesting the legislative council to
  1  2    establish an interim committee to study the creation
  1  3    of a facility to care for geriatric persons who are
  1  4    registered on the sex offender registry or who are
  1  5    sexually aggressive.
  1  6    WHEREAS, no geriatric facilities exist in Iowa to
  1  7 house persons on the sex offender registry or persons
  1  8 who are sexually aggressive; and
  1  9    WHEREAS, the lack of such a facility places other
  1 10 geriatric patients, residents, and tenants at risk for
  1 11 being sexually abused; and
  1 12    WHEREAS, creation of a housing facility would better
  1 13 protect geriatric patients, residents, and tenants from
  1 14 sexual abuse by sex offenders or sexually aggressive
  1 15 persons; NOW THEREFORE,
  1 16    BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, That
  1 17 the House of Representatives requests the legislative
  1 18 council to establish an interim study committee,
  1 19 composed of members of the senate and the house of
  1 20 representatives, to commence meeting during the 2017
  1 21 interim as soon as practicable.  The purpose of the
  1 22 interim study committee is to study the creation
  1 23 of a new facility or expanding a current facility
  1 24 to care for geriatric persons who are registered
  1 25 on the sex offender registry or who are sexually
  1 26 aggressive; related workforce recruitment, training,
  1 27 and compensation issues; requirements that such a
  1 28 facility or facilities must meet in order to qualify
  2  1 for Medicaid reimbursement; and any other information
  2  2 or issues deemed appropriate by the interim study
  2  3 committee, and to submit the interim study committee's
  2  4 conclusions and recommendations in a report to the
  2  5 general assembly by January 1, 2018.
