 64  6    519A.1  Intent.
 64  7    1.  The general assembly finds that a critical situation
 64  8 exists because of the high cost and impending unavailability
 64  9 of medical malpractice insurance. The purposes of sections
 64 10 519A.2 to through 519A.13 are to assure that the public is
 64 11 adequately protected against losses arising out of medical
 64 12 malpractice by providing licensed health care providers with
 64 13 medical malpractice insurance through the requirement that
 64 14 certain liability insurance carriers write medical malpractice
 64 15 insurance for a period of two years upon a finding of an
 64 16 emergency by the commissioner of insurance that either such
 64 17 insurance is not available through normal channels or that
 64 18 it is not available on a reasonable basis because of lack of
 64 19 competition for such insurance, or otherwise; to establish an
 64 20 association to equitably spread the risks for such insurance;
 64 21 and to provide for recoupment of losses resulting from the
 64 22 operation of the association through a stabilization reserve
 64 23 fund contributed to by insureds, a surcharge on future
 64 24 liability insurance policies, or a favorable premium tax
 64 25 treatment.
 64 26    2.  It is the intent of this chapter to provide only an
 64 27 interim solution to the impending unavailability of medical
 64 28 malpractice insurance. It is not anticipated that this chapter
 64 29 will resolve the underlying causes of the unavailability and
 64 30 high cost which extend beyond the insurance mechanism. It is
 64 31 anticipated that future legislation will be required to deal
 64 32 on a more permanent basis with the underlying causes of the
 64 33 current situation.

 65 17  519A.13. The plan of operation and any amendments thereto
 65 18 shall become effective only after promulgation of the plan or
 65 19 amendment by the commissioner as a rule pursuant to section
 65 20 17A.4:  Provided that the initial plan may in the discretion of

 65 22 the secretary of state pursuant to section 17A.5, subsection 2,
 65 23 paragraph "b", subparagraph (1), subparagraph division (a).

 65 28 commissioner shall adopt rules necessary to effectuate sections

 66  9 effective dates. All policies shall terminate at 12:01 a.m.
 66 10 two years from the date of finding of an emergency by the

 90 13 relating to county issuance of driver's licenses. In Code

 90 16 and nonoperator's identification cards may be seized.

 90 25 of permits issued under the alcoholic beverage control Code
 90 26 chapter.
 90 27    Section 135.175 and 2015 Iowa Acts, ch. 30, {220 and 222:

 90 31 various programs, except for references to the fulfilling
 90 32 Iowa's need for dentists matching grant program, to correct an
 90 33 error in 2015 Iowa Acts, ch. 30.  The references to programs
 90 34 which are stricken from Code section 135.175 all sunset on

 91  1 program continues as a viable program in Code chapter 135 after

 91 13 would have the storage capabilities needed to maintain the
 91 14 injectors.
 91 15    Section 135C.42:  Strikes language requiring the department
 91 16 of inspections and appeals to hold an informal conference with
 91 17 health care facilities which are the subject of a citation for

 92  7    Section 206.2:  Strikes a definition of the term "poison
 92  8 control center" from this definitions provision for the Code
 92  9 chapter relating to the regulation of pesticides because the
 92 10 term is no longer used in Code chapter 206. The provision that

 92 18 term does appears one other time in Title VI: in Code section
 92 19 239B.2B, where the term is used to refer to the granting of
 92 20 asylum to noncitizens.
 92 21    Sections 222.6 and 222.12: Strikes redundant language

 92 25 in Code section 222.2.
 92 26    Sections 225.10, 225.13, 225.15, 225.17, 225C.14, and
 92 27 225C.16:  Changes the word "of" to "for" in language relating

 94  4 and duties of the administrator of the division of child and

 94 10 corrected in Code section 234.38.
 94 11    Section 249K.2:  Replaces a citation to a definition in Code

100 20 once it has been entered.
100 21    Section 468.375:  Replaces the Code section headnote with
100 22 a headnote that was originally attached to this Code section
100 23 relating to levee and drainage district refunding bonds when
100 24 the provision was first enacted in 1923 Iowa Acts, ch. 159, {9,

100 28 "in this part" to clarify the location of the limitations

100 31 own Code chapter, Code chapter 463, prior to being transferred
100 32 to Code chapter 468 by 1989 Iowa Acts, ch. 126, and were

101 26    Section 507B.4: Enumerates, for readability, the content
101 27 requirements for an insurer's statement of capital and surplus
101 28 which appear after a colon and separates those requirements

102  6    Section 515.48: Strikes the redundant language "of this
102  7 section" in an internal reference and then separates additional
102  8 items that may be insured under a non=life insurance policy
102  9 into new subparagraphs to distinguish those additional losses
102 10 not occasioned by the explosion of certain pressure vessels
102 11 from losses that may be insured.
102 12    Section 517.3:  Splits a subparagraph which relates to
102 13 distribution of unallocated insurance liability loss expense
102 14 payments in two different years into two subparagraphs and

102 16 and style of the language to the balance of the subparagraphs
102 17 which contain the percentages of payments to be distributed in
102 18 a single year.
102 19    Section 519A.1:  Numbers unnumbered paragraphs and changes
102 20 "to" to "through" to conform a string citation to current

102 23 expressing the legislative intent of the Code chapter
102 24 establishing a joint underwriting association for medical

103  2 domestic insurer.
103  3    Section 523A.207:  Replaces an internal reference to

103 17 legislation in which this Code section was enacted to limit the
103 18 meaning of the language to its meaning when it was enacted.
103 19 New articles have been adopted in Code chapter 554 since the
103 20 1974 legislation and major revisions to existing articles have
103 21 also been enacted, making the 1972 official comments of limited

103 30 "conveyance", the definitions contained in Code section 558.43
103 31 are used only in Code section 558.44. Code sections 558.43
103 32 and 558.44 were enacted together in a single Acts section in

104  7 under which the fine and fee amounts will not be deposited
104  8 in the general fund of the state.  A reference to subsection
104  9 7 is not included within the series and should be due to its
104 10 enactment in 2015 Iowa Acts, ch. 96, {14. In addition, each
104 11 of the subsections in this Code section that require deposit
104 12 of moneys into other funds specifically states the fund into
104 13 which the moneys are to be deposited. Removing the list of
104 14 exceptions will avoid the need to expand the list of exceptions
104 15 each time that a new exception is enacted.
104 16    Section 622.28:  Numbers unnumbered paragraphs and puts
104 17 a definition of a term into standard form in this provision

104 21 readability of language specifying when a peace officer may
104 22 receive fees as a witness in a legal proceeding.  The word

104 24 to law enforcement officers to earlier language in this Code
104 25 section.
104 26    Sections 626.51, 626.52, and 626.53:  Changes "such notice"
104 27 to "notice of ownership or exemption" to clarify that the
104 28 notice referred to in these provisions regarding a levy
104 29 on property by a law enforcement officer is the notice of
104 30 ownership or exemption and not the notice of levy.
104 31    Section 626.54:  Updates language, moves language appearing
104 32 after a semicolon into a new sentence, and clarifies that
104 33 the notice referenced at the beginning of this provision
104 34 relating to the giving of an indemnifying bond against damages
104 35 for seizure or sale of property is a notice of ownership or
105  1 exemption.
105  2    Sections 633.230, 633.231, 633.295, 633.304, 633.304A,
105  3 and 633.305: Strikes and rewrites to recaption the initial
105  4 information in a series of probate forms relating to the name
105  5 of the district court, the deceased, the probate number, and

105  7 the probate forms to each other and to other, similar probate
105  8 forms that appear in the Iowa court rules publication.
105  9    Section 636.26:  Numbers unnumbered paragraphs and changes
105 10 references from "herein" to "in this section" to clarify
105 11 that court approval is not required for certain releases or
105 12 discharges of mortgages or liens held by a fiduciary and does
105 13 not apply to pending litigation.
105 14    Section 654.23:  Conforms language appearing at the
105 15 beginning of this Code section relating to redemption rights
105 16 after and title acquired due to purchase of property at a
105 17 foreclosure sale to the substance of language that appears
105 18 later in the Code section.
105 19    Section 656.9:  Corrects a reference to the Code section
105 20 that requires notice of forfeiture to be given that appears
105 21 within this Code section regarding the statute of limitations
105 22 that applies to actions based upon a defects in forfeiture
105 23 proceedings.
105 24    Section 725.15:  Changes "to" to "through" to conform
105 25 a string citation to current bill drafting style and to
105 26 clarify the applicability of the last Code section in the
105 27 string citation in this provision excepting gambling games,
105 28 activities, and devices which conform to the requirements
105 29 established for legal gambling under the Code from provisions
105 30 establishing criminal offenses and punishments for illegal
105 31 gambling.
105 32    Section 805.8A:  Deletes a provision that became redundant
105 33 when 2010 Iowa Acts, ch. 1190, {18, made the penalties
105 34 applicable to excessive speed violations in speed zones greater
105 35 than 55 miles per hour the same as the penalties that apply to
106  1 excessive speed violations in other speed zones.
106  2    Section 820.22:  Conforms language referring to the
106  3 appropriate court and judicial authorities of the District
106  4 of Columbia who are responsible for receiving demands for
106  5 extradition of persons charged with a crime, with escape from
106  6 confinement, or of breaking the terms of the person's bail,
106  7 probation, or parole to language found in Title 23, chapter 7,
106  8 {23=704 of the Code of the District of Columbia.  Unlike in
106  9 most states, the authority under the Code of the District of
106 10 Columbia to receive demands for extradition is not part of the
106 11 powers and duties assigned to the governor of the district,
106 12 but, rather, is vested in the superior court.
106 13    Sections 901C.1 and 901C.1A:  Moves definitions applicable
106 14 to the provisions of this one section Code chapter relating to
106 15 expungement of criminal records in certain criminal cases to
106 16 new Code section 901C.1A and changes references in existing
106 17 Code section 901C.1 from "chapter" to "section" to conform the
106 18 style of this Code chapter to other Code chapters.  The Code
106 19 editor is directed to transfer current Code section 901C.1 to
106 20 become Code section 901C.2 and new Code section 901C.1A to
106 21 become Code section 901C.1.
106 22    Section 916.2:  Changes a reference from "counselor" to
106 23 "advocate" to reflect the fact that the person counseling
106 24 victims of criminal acts under Code chapter 916 are termed
106 25 "advocates", not "counselors".
106 26    Repeals of Code sections located at the end of the bill are
106 27 described in Code section order rather than at the end of this
106 28 explanation. Repeals of 2015 Iowa Acts, ch. 30, {{220 and 222,
106 29 are explained in the explanation of the amendments to Code
106 30 section 135.175 in the bill.
