This division 20 of the bill prohibits a county or city from requiring an 21 inspection of a manufactured home that has been inspected 22 according to requirements of the U.S. department of housing and 23 urban development and constructed in conformance with specified 24 federal manufactured home construction and safety standards. 25 DIVISION II —— WORK-BASED LEARNING. This division of 26 the bill relates to work-based learning, which provides 27 opportunities and experiences to students related to workplace 28 tours, job shadowing, rotations, mentoring, entrepreneurship, 29 service learning, internships, and apprenticeships. The 30 bill requires the department of education to establish and 31 maintain a process that requires the boards of directors of 32 school districts to report to the department at least annually 33 regarding student participation in work-based learning programs 34 established by the board. 35 -15- LSB 5183SZ (3) 89 ko/jh 15/ 22
S.F. 2383 Under current law, a supervisor of a work-based learning 1 program that awards career and technical education credit must 2 be a licensed practitioner who completes both educational 3 requirements and work experience requirements. The bill 4 requires the board of educational examiners to adopt rules 5 relating to a certification system for supervisors of 6 work-based learning programs. The bill provides that a 7 work-based learning program supervisor certificate shall not 8 require more than 15 contact hours, which shall be available 9 over the internet and provide instruction as detailed in the 10 division. Additionally, the bill provides for when applicants 11 for the certificate shall be disqualified. The bill provides 12 that a certificate shall not be considered a teacher or 13 administrator license for any purpose. The bill requires 14 that the certificate program be considered a professional 15 development program. 16 The bill requires that a student’s individualized career 17 and academic plan (ICAP) be developed to identify both the 18 coursework and work-based learning needed in grades 9 through 19 12 to support the student’s postsecondary education and career 20 options. An ICAP is developed with each student enrolled 21 in grade eight to prepare the student for completion of the 22 core curriculum, identify the coursework needed to support 23 the student’s postsecondary education and career options, and 24 prepare the student to complete the essential components of a 25 career information and decision-making system. The bill also 26 requires that the plan advise the student how to successfully 27 complete the free application for federal student aid (FAFSA). 28 The FAFSA is the application that is used to apply for federal 29 student aid, including federal grants, work-study, and loans. 30 DIVISION III —— HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE RECRUITMENT. This 31 division of the bill relates to the rural Iowa primary 32 care loan repayment program, the health care professional 33 recruitment program, and the health care loan repayment 34 program. 35 -16- LSB 5183SZ (3) 89 ko/jh 16/ 22
S.F. 2383 The rural Iowa primary care loan repayment program provides 1 student loan repayments for medical students who agree to 2 practice as physicians in certain specified areas of the state 3 for five years. Under current law, medical students who are 4 eligible for student loan repayments under the program are 5 required to complete the residency program requirement with 6 an Iowa-based residency program. The bill strikes from this 7 provision the requirement that the residency program be based 8 in Iowa. The bill also authorizes student loan repayment 9 for medical students who will practice neurology and medical 10 students who will practice part-time. The bill defines 11 “part-time practice” as at least 70 percent of a 40-hour 12 workweek. 13 Current law prohibits the college student aid commission 14 from entering into more than 20 program agreements annually 15 under the program. The bill authorizes the commission to enter 16 into more than 20 program agreements annually if surplus funds 17 are available. 18 In addition to the medical students who are eligible for 19 student loan repayments under the program, and subject to 20 the availability of surplus funds, current law requires the 21 college student aid commission to adopt rules to provide for 22 student loan repayment to a physician who received a doctor 23 of medicine or doctor of osteopathic medicine degree from an 24 eligible university, obtained a license to practice medicine 25 and surgery or osteopathic medicine and surgery in this state, 26 completed the physician’s residency program requirement with an 27 Iowa-based residency program, and is engaged in the full-time 28 practice of medicine and surgery or osteopathic medicine and 29 surgery. The bill strikes from this provision the requirement 30 that the residency program be based in Iowa. The bill provides 31 that the physician may engage in either the full-time or 32 part-time practice of medicine and surgery or osteopathic 33 medicine and surgery in a service commitment area. The bill 34 also provides that the amount of loan repayment provided to a 35 -17- LSB 5183SZ (3) 89 ko/jh 17/ 22
S.F. 2383 physician shall be subject to the same limitations applicable 1 to an eligible student. Additionally, the bill provides 2 that the total amount of a physician’s eligible loans shall 3 be established as of the date the physician applies for loan 4 repayment. 5 The bill provides that for agreements entered into 6 prior to July 1, 2022, the commission and the person may 7 consent to amend the agreement under which the person shall 8 engage in the part-time practice of medicine and surgery 9 or osteopathic medicine and surgery specializing in family 10 medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, internal medicine, obstetrics 11 and gynecology, neurology, or general surgery in a service 12 commitment area, for an extended period of part-time practice 13 determined by the commission to be proportional to the amount 14 of full-time practice remaining under the original agreement. 15 The bill provides that moneys in the rural Iowa primary care 16 trust fund up to the total amount that an eligible student or a 17 physician may receive for an eligible loan shall be considered 18 encumbered for the duration of the eligible student’s or 19 physician’s obligation under the program. 20 Current law provides that the obligation to engage in 21 practice under the program shall be postponed during any 22 period of temporary medical incapacity during which the person 23 obligated is unable, due to a medical condition, to engage in 24 full-time practice. The bill includes within this provision 25 any period of temporary medical incapacity during which the 26 person obligated is unable, due to a medical condition, to 27 engage in part-time practice. The bill provides that, subject 28 to limited exceptions, an obligation to engage in practice 29 under an agreement shall not be postponed for more than two 30 years from the time the full-time or part-time practice was to 31 have commenced under the agreement. Additionally, the bill 32 provides for when an obligation to engage in full-time or 33 part-time practice shall be considered satisfied. 34 The health care professional recruitment program provides 35 -18- LSB 5183SZ (3) 89 ko/jh 18/ 22
S.F. 2383 student loan repayments for certain health care professionals 1 who graduate from an eligible institution and who agree to 2 practice in an eligible rural community in the state. The bill 3 includes community college within the definition of “eligible 4 institution”. The bill includes advanced registered nurse 5 practitioner and registered nurse within the definition of 6 “health care professional”. 7 The health care loan repayment program provides student 8 loan repayments for registered nurses, advanced registered 9 nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certain nurse 10 educators. The bill modifies the health care loan repayment 11 program to an award program that provides an annual award 12 amount of $6,000 for not more than five consecutive years to 13 registered nurses, advanced registered nurse practitioners, 14 physician assistants, and certain nurse educators. A part-time 15 nurse educator must practice as a registered nurse or an 16 advanced registered nurse practitioner to qualify for an award 17 under the program. The bill changes the name of the program to 18 the health care award program and makes conforming changes. 19 DIVISION IV —— PROFESSIONAL LICENSING —— MILITARY SPOUSES. 20 This division of the bill relates to professional licensing. 21 The bill requires each board that issues a professional license 22 to expedite the licensing of a person married to an active 23 duty member of the military forces of the United States or who 24 is a veteran. If the board determines that the occupation or 25 profession applied for does not have a substantially similar 26 scope of practice, the board shall issue a temporary license to 27 the person for a period of time necessary to meet the licensing 28 requirements of this state. The board shall advise the person 29 of the necessary education or training and shall license a 30 person who completes such requirements. The bill moves current 31 Code language regarding licensure of military personnel and 32 spouses to new Code section 272C.12A. 33 The bill removes the requirement that a person establish 34 residency in this state prior to being issued a license, 35 -19- LSB 5183SZ (3) 89 ko/jh 19/ 22
S.F. 2383 certificate, or registration without an examination if 1 the person is currently licensed, certified, or registered 2 in another jurisdiction in an occupation or profession 3 with a substantially similar scope of practice, except for 4 licenses issued pursuant to Code chapter 103 (electricians 5 and electrical contractors) or Code chapter 105 (plumbers, 6 mechanical professionals, and contractors). The bill also 7 removes the requirement that the person has held the license, 8 certificate, or registration in the other jurisdiction for at 9 least one year. 10 The bill requires a licensing board, an agency, a 11 department, or the board of educational examiners to waive 12 an initial application fee and one renewal fee charged to 13 an applicant for a license issued pursuant to Code chapter 14 272C (regulation of licensed professions and occupations) 15 if the applicant has been honorably or generally discharged 16 from federal active duty or national guard duty within the 17 last five years. The bill requires each such board, agency, 18 or department to adopt rules to implement this procedure by 19 January 11, 2023. 20 DIVISION V —— FISHING AND HUNTING LICENSES —— MILITARY 21 VETERANS. Under current law, a resident who has served in the 22 armed forces of the United States on federal active duty and 23 who was disabled or was a prisoner of war during that veteran’s 24 military service may pay a fee to obtain a lifetime hunting 25 license or a lifetime hunting and fishing combined license. 26 This division of the bill provides that upon payment of a fee, 27 not to exceed $5, for an annual armed forces fishing license 28 (fishing license) or annual armed forces hunting and fishing 29 combined license (combined license), the department of natural 30 resources (DNR) shall issue an annual fishing license or annual 31 combined license to a resident of Iowa who has served in the 32 armed forces of the United States on federal active duty. The 33 DNR is required to prepare an application to be used to request 34 an annual fishing license or annual combined license. The 35 -20- LSB 5183SZ (3) 89 ko/jh 20/ 22
S.F. 2383 DNR may consult with the department of veterans affairs when 1 adopting rules to verify the status of applicants. 2 DIVISION VI —— DRIVER’S LICENSE AND PARKING FEES —— 3 VETERANS. Under current law, the fee for a noncommercial 4 driver’s license, other than a class D chauffeur’s license 5 or any type of instruction permit, is $4 per year of license 6 validity. The fee for a class D chauffeur’s license is $8 per 7 year of license validity. The fee for a commercial driver’s 8 license (CDL), other than a commercial learner’s permit, is 9 $8 per year of license validity. An additional fee of $2 per 10 year of license validity is required for a class M motorcycle 11 license. 12 This division of the bill prohibits the department of 13 transportation (DOT) from charging fees for a noncommercial 14 driver’s license or motorcycle license to a veteran with a 15 permanent service-connected disability rating of 100 percent, 16 as certified by the U.S. department of veterans affairs. 17 The bill also prohibits the DOT from charging fees for a 18 chauffeur’s license or CDL to a veteran who is on federal or 19 state active duty, or who was issued an honorable discharge or 20 general discharge under honorable conditions from such service. 21 The bill prohibits a city that operates and maintains 22 parking meters or non-metered parking lots from enforcing any 23 ordinance related to parking meter fees against, or charging a 24 parking fee at any non-metered parking lot to, a person whose 25 vehicle is lawfully displaying medal of honor, ex-prisoner 26 of war, or purple heart special registration plates, or a 27 registration plate displaying the alphabetical characters 28 “DV” preceding the registration plate number (plates issued 29 to seriously disabled veterans). The bill provides that this 30 prohibition shall not be construed to limit a city’s authority 31 to enforce other parking-related ordinances as detailed in the 32 bill. 33 DIVISION VII —— TEMPORARY LICENSES —— INSURANCE PRODUCERS. 34 This division of the bill provides that the commissioner of 35 -21- LSB 5183SZ (3) 89 ko/jh 21/ 22
S.F. 2383 insurance may issue a temporary insurance producer license 1 for a period not to exceed 180 days without requiring an 2 examination to an applicant for a resident insurance producer 3 license (resident license) who has met all of the requirements 4 under Code section 522B.5(1), and to an applicant for a 5 nonresident insurance producer license (nonresident license) 6 that has met all of the requirements under Code section 7 522B.7, and who has not been issued a resident license or 8 nonresident license within 10 business days from the date that 9 the applicant submitted fingerprints and any other required 10 information to the commissioner. 11 -22- LSB 5183SZ (3) 89 ko/jh 22/ 22
