No person shall distribute complimentary packages of 14 26 controlled substances,to a practitioner unless that person 14 27 prepares and leaves with the practitioner a specific written 14 28 list of the items so distributed. This list shall be prepared 14 29 on a form prescribed by rules promulgated by the board, and the 14 30 person who distributes the items listed shall send a copy of 14 31 the list to the board as soon as practicable after distribution 14 32 of the complimentary packages to the practitioner. 14 33 Sec. 29. Section 124.407, Code 2017, is amended to read as 14 34 follows: 14 35 124.407 Gatherings where controlled substances unlawfully 15 1 used ==== penalties. 15 2 1.

The district court shall grant an injunction barring a 15 14 meeting, gathering, or assemblage if upon hearing the court 15 15 finds that the sponsors or promoters of the meeting, gathering, 15 16 or assemblage have not taken reasonable means to prevent the 15 17 unlawful distribution, use, or possession of a controlled 15 18 substance. Further injunctive relief may be granted against 15 19 all persons furnishing goods or services to such meeting, 15 20 gathering, or assemblage. 15 21 4.

The reasonable expense to the state and 15 27 governmental subdivisions thereof to provide the necessary law 15 28 enforcement resulting from a meeting, gathering, or assemblage 15 29 held in violation of this section may be taxed as costs in the 15 30 criminal action. 15 31 Sec. 30. Section 159.27, Code 2017, is amended to read as 15 32 follows: 15 33 159.27 Iowa seal. 15 34 1. A seal for agricultural products shall be created 15 35 under the direction of the department of agriculture and land 16 1 stewardship to identify agricultural products that have been 16 2 produced or processed in the state. The department shall 16 3 certify that agricultural products marked with the Iowa seal 16 4 are of the quality and specifications warranted by the sellers 16 5 of those products. 16 6 2. The department of agriculture and land stewardship 16 7 shall adopt rules under chapter 17A to provide methods of 16 8 identifying, marking, and grading agricultural products, to 16 9 prevent any misleading use of the Iowa seal, and as necessary 16 10 or advisable to fully implement this section. 16 11 3. a. A violation of a rule adopted by the department of 16 12 agriculture and land stewardship to implement this section is a 16 13 simple misdemeanor. 16 14 b. A fraudulent use of the term "Iowa Seal" or of the 16 15 identifying mark for the Iowa seal, or a deliberately 16 16 misleading or unwarranted use of the term or identifying mark 16 17 is a serious misdemeanor. 16 18 Sec. 31. Section 232.102, Code 2017, is amended to read as 16 19 follows: 16 20 232.102 Transfer of legal custody of child and placement. 16 21 1. a. After a dispositional hearing the court may enter an 16 22 order transferring the legal custody of the child to one of the 16 23 following for purposes of placement: 16 24 (1) A parent who does not have physical care of the child, 16 25 other relative, or other suitable person. 16 26 (2) A child=placing agency or other suitable private 16 27 agency, facility, or institution which is licensed or otherwise 16 28 authorized by law to receive and provide care for the child. 16 29 (3) The department of human services. If the child is 16 30 placed in a juvenile shelter care home or with an individual 16 31 or agency as defined in section 237.1, the department shall 16 32 assign decision=making authority to the juvenile shelter care 16 33 home, individual, or agency for the purpose of applying the 16 34 reasonable and prudent parent standard during the child's 16 35 placement. 17 1 b. If the child is sixteen years of age or older, the 17 2 order shall specify the services needed to assist the child in 17 3 preparing for the transition from foster care to adulthood. If 17 4 the child has a case permanency plan, the court shall consider 17 5 the written transition plan of services and needs assessment 17 6 developed for the child's case permanency plan. If the child 17 7 does not have a case permanency plan containing the transition 17 8 plan and needs assessment at the time the order is entered, the 17 9 written transition plan and needs assessment shall be developed 17 10 and submitted for the court's consideration no later than six 17 11 months from the date of the transfer order. The court shall 17 12 modify the initial transfer order as necessary to specify 17 13 the services needed to assist the child in preparing for the 17 14 transition from foster care to adulthood. If the transition 17 15 plan identifies services or other support needed to assist 17 16 the child when the child becomes an adult and the court deems 17 17 it to be beneficial to the child, the court may authorize 17 18 the individual who is the child's guardian ad litem or court 17 19 appointed special advocate to continue a relationship with and 17 20 provide advice to the child for a period of time beyond the 17 21 child's eighteenth birthday. 17 221A.2. The court shall not order group foster care 17 23 placement of the child which is a charge upon the state if that 17 24 placement is not in accordance with the service area plan for 17 25 group foster care established pursuant to section 232.143 for 17 26 the departmental service area in which the court is located. 17 272.3. After a dispositional hearing and upon the request 17 28 of the department, the court may enter an order appointing the 17 29 department as the guardian of an unaccompanied refugee child or 17 30 of a child without parent or guardian. 17 313.4. After a dispositional hearing and upon written 17 32 findings of fact based upon evidence in the record that an 17 33 alternative placement set forth in subsection 1, paragraph 17 34 "a", subparagraph (1), has previously been made and is not 17 35 appropriate, the court may enter an order transferring the 18 1 guardianship of the child for the purposes of subsection911, 18 2 to the director of human services for the purposes of placement 18 3 in the Iowa juvenile home at Toledo. 18 44.5. a. Upon receipt of an application from the director 18 5 of the department of human services, the court shall enter an 18 6 order to temporarily transfer a child who has been placed in 18 7 the Iowa juvenile home at Toledo pursuant to subsection34, 18 8 to a facility which has been designated to be an alternative 18 9 placement site for the juvenile home, provided the court finds 18 10 that all of the following conditions exist: 18 11 (1) There is insufficient time to file a motion and hold a 18 12 hearing for a new dispositional order under section 232.103. 18 13 (2) Immediate removal of the child from the juvenile home 18 14 is necessary to safeguard the child's physical or emotional 18 15 health. 18 16 (3) That reasonable attempts to notify the parents, 18 17 guardian ad litem, and attorney for the child have been made. 18 18 b. If the court finds the conditions in paragraph "a" exist 18 19 and there is insufficient time to provide notice as required 18 20 under rule of juvenile procedure 8.12, the court may enter 18 21 an ex parte order temporarily transferring the child to the 18 22 alternative placement site. 18 23 c. Within three days of the child's transfer, the director 18 24 shall file a motion for a new dispositional order under section 18 25 232.103 and the court shall hold a hearing concerning the 18 26 motion within fourteen days of the child's transfer. 18 275.6. a. Whenever possible the court should permit the 18 28 child to remain at home with the child's parent, guardian, or 18 29 custodian. Custody of the child should not be transferred 18 30 unless the court finds there is clear and convincing evidence 18 31 that: 18 32 (1) The child cannot be protected from physical abuse 18 33 without transfer of custody; or 18 34 (2) The child cannot be protected from some harm which would 18 35 justify the adjudication of the child as a child in need of 19 1 assistance and an adequate placement is available. 19 2 b. In order to transfer custody of the child under 19 3 this subsection, the court must make a determination that 19 4 continuation of the child in the child's home would be contrary 19 5 to the welfare of the child, and shall identify the reasonable 19 6 efforts that have been made. The court's determination 19 7 regarding continuation of the child in the child's home, 19 8 and regarding reasonable efforts, including those made to 19 9 prevent removal and those made to finalize any permanency 19 10 plan in effect, as well as any determination by the court 19 11 that reasonable efforts are not required, must be made on 19 12 a case=by=case basis. The grounds for each determination 19 13 must be explicitly documented and stated in the court order. 19 14 However, preserving the safety of the child is the paramount 19 15 consideration. If imminent danger to the child's life or 19 16 health exists at the time of the court's consideration, the 19 17 determinations otherwise required under this paragraph shall 19 18 not be a prerequisite for an order for removal of the child. 19 19 If the court transfers custody of the child, unless the 19 20 court waives the requirement for making reasonable efforts or 19 21 otherwise makes a determination that reasonable efforts are not 19 22 required, reasonable efforts shall be made to make it possible 19 23 for the child to safely return to the family's home. 19 245A.7. A child placed in foster care may participate in 19 25 age or developmentally appropriate extracurricular, enrichment, 19 26 cultural, and social activities subject to the approval 19 27 of the child's foster parents or the appropriate licensed 19 28 foster care facility staff. A court shall make a finding at 19 29 all review hearings to address the child's participation in 19 30 such activities and how barriers to participation are being 19 31 addressed. 19 326.8. The child shall not be placed in the state training 19 33 school. 19 347.9. In any order transferring custody to the department 19 35 or an agency, or in orders pursuant to a custody order, the 20 1 court shall specify the nature and category of disposition 20 2 which will serve the best interests of the child, and shall 20 3 prescribe the means by which the placement shall be monitored 20 4 by the court. If the court orders the transfer of the custody 20 5 of the child to the department of human services or other 20 6 agency for placement, the department or agency shall submit 20 7 a case permanency plan to the court and shall make every 20 8 reasonable effort to return the child to the child's home as 20 9 quickly as possible consistent with the best interests of the 20 10 child. When the child is not returned to the child's home and 20 11 if the child has been previously placed in a licensed foster 20 12 care facility, the department or agency shall consider placing 20 13 the child in the same licensed foster care facility. If the 20 14 court orders the transfer of custody to a parent who does not 20 15 have physical care of the child, other relative, or other 20 16 suitable person, the court may direct the department or other 20 17 agency to provide services to the child's parent, guardian, 20 18 or custodian in order to enable them to resume custody of the 20 19 child. If the court orders the transfer of custody to the 20 20 department of human services or to another agency for placement 20 21 in group foster care, the department or agency shall make every 20 22 reasonable effort to place the child in the least restrictive, 20 23 most family=like, and most appropriate setting available, and 20 24 in close proximity to the parents' home, consistent with the 20 25 child's best interests and special needs, and shall consider 20 26 the placement's proximity to the school in which the child is 20 27 enrolled at the time of placement. 20 288.10. Any order transferring custody to the department 20 29 or an agency shall include a statement informing the child's 20 30 parent that the consequences of a permanent removal may include 20 31 the termination of the parent's rights with respect to the 20 32 child. 20 339.11. An agency, facility, institution, or person to whom 20 34 custody of the child has been transferred pursuant to this 20 35 section shall file a written report with the court at least 21 1 every six months concerning the status and progress of the 21 2 child. The court shall hold a periodic dispositional review 21 3 hearing for each child in placement pursuant to this section in 21 4 order to determine whether the child should be returned home, 21 5 an extension of the placement should be made, a permanency 21 6 hearing should be held, or a termination of the parent=child 21 7 relationship proceeding should be instituted. The placement 21 8 shall be terminated and the child returned to the child's home 21 9 if the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the 21 10 child will not suffer harm in the manner specified in section 21 11 232.2, subsection 6. If the placement is extended, the court 21 12 shall determine whether additional services are necessary to 21 13 facilitate the return of the child to the child's home, and 21 14 if the court determines such services are needed, the court 21 15 shall order the provision of such services. When the child 21 16 is not returned to the child's home and if the child has been 21 17 previously placed in a licensed foster care facility, the 21 18 department or agency responsible for the placement of the child 21 19 shall consider placing the child in the same licensed foster 21 20 care facility. 21 21 a. The initial dispositional review hearing shall not be 21 22 waived or continued beyond six months after the date of the 21 23 dispositional hearing. 21 24 b. Subsequent dispositional review hearings shall not be 21 25 waived or continued beyond twelve months after the date of the 21 26 most recent dispositional review hearing. 21 27 c. For purposes of this subsection, a hearing held pursuant 21 28 to section 232.103 satisfies the requirements for initial 21 29 dispositional review or subsequent permanency hearing. 21 3010.12. a. As used in this division, "reasonable efforts" 21 31 means the efforts made to preserve and unify a family prior 21 32 to the out=of=home placement of a child in foster care or 21 33 to eliminate the need for removal of the child or make it 21 34 possible for the child to safely return to the family's home. 21 35 Reasonable efforts shall include but are not limited to giving 22 1 consideration, if appropriate, to interstate placement of a 22 2 child in the permanency planning decisions involving the child 22 3 and giving consideration to in=state and out=of=state placement 22 4 options at a permanency hearing and when using concurrent 22 5 planning. If returning the child to the family's home is not 22 6 appropriate or not possible, reasonable efforts shall include 22 7 the efforts made in a timely manner to finalize a permanency 22 8 plan for the child. A child's health and safety shall be the 22 9 paramount concern in making reasonable efforts. Reasonable 22 10 efforts may include but are not limited to family=centered 22 11 services, if the child's safety in the home can be maintained 22 12 during the time the services are provided. In determining 22 13 whether reasonable efforts have been made, the court shall 22 14 consider both of the following: 22 15 (1) The type, duration, and intensity of services or support 22 16 offered or provided to the child and the child's family. If 22 17 family=centered services were not provided, the court record 22 18 shall enumerate the reasons the services were not provided, 22 19 including but not limited to whether the services were not 22 20 available, not accepted by the child's family, judged to be 22 21 unable to protect the child and the child's family during 22 22 the time the services would have been provided, judged to be 22 23 unlikely to be successful in resolving the problems which would 22 24 lead to removal of the child, or other services were found to 22 25 be more appropriate. 22 26 (2) The relative risk to the child of remaining in the 22 27 child's home versus removal of the child. 22 28 b. As used in this section, "family=centered services" means 22 29 services and other support intended to safely maintain a child 22 30 with the child's family or with a relative, to safely and in a 22 31 timely manner return a child to the home of the child's parent 22 32 or relative, or to promote achievement of concurrent planning 22 33 goals by identifying and helping the child secure placement 22 34 for adoption, with a guardian, or with other alternative 22 35 permanent family connections. Family=centered services are 23 1 adapted to the individual needs of a family in regard to the 23 2 specific services and other support provided to the child's 23 3 family and the intensity and duration of service delivery. 23 4 Family=centered services are intended to preserve a child's 23 5 connections to the child's neighborhood, community, and family 23 6 and to improve the overall capacity of the child's family to 23 7 provide for the needs of the children in the family. 23 811.13. The performance of reasonable efforts to place a 23 9 child for adoption or with a guardian may be made concurrently 23 10 with making reasonable efforts as defined in this section. 23 1112.14. If the court determines by clear and convincing 23 12 evidence that aggravated circumstances exist, with written 23 13 findings of fact based upon evidence in the record, the court 23 14 may waive the requirement for making reasonable efforts. The 23 15 existence of aggravated circumstances is indicated by any of 23 16 the following: 23 17 a. The parent has abandoned the child. 23 18 b. The court finds the circumstances described in section 23 19 232.116, subsection 1, paragraph "i", are applicable to the 23 20 child. 23 21 c. The parent's parental rights have been terminated under 23 22 section 232.116 or involuntarily terminated by an order of a 23 23 court of competent jurisdiction in another state with respect 23 24 to another child who is a member of the same family, and there 23 25 is clear and convincing evidence to show that the offer or 23 26 receipt of services would not be likely within a reasonable 23 27 period of time to correct the conditions which led to the 23 28 child's removal. 23 29 d. The parent has been convicted of the murder of another 23 30 child of the parent. 23 31 e. The parent has been convicted of the voluntary 23 32 manslaughter of another child of the parent. 23 33 f. The parent has been convicted of aiding or abetting, 23 34 attempting, conspiring in, or soliciting the commission of 23 35 the murder or voluntary manslaughter of another child of the 24 1 parent. 24 2 g. The parent has been convicted of a felony assault which 24 3 resulted in serious bodily injury of the child or of another 24 4 child of the parent. 24 513.15. Unless prohibited by the court order transferring 24 6 custody of the child for placement or other court order or the 24 7 department or agency that received the custody transfer finds 24 8 that allowing the visitation would not be in the child's best 24 9 interest, the department or agency may authorize reasonable 24 10 visitation with the child by the child's grandparent, 24 11 great=grandparent, or other adult relative who has established 24 12 a substantial relationship with the child. 24 13 Sec. 32. Section 235B.3A, subsection 3, Code 2017, is 24 14 amended to read as follows: 24 15 3. Providing a dependent adult with immediate and adequate 24 16 notice of the dependent adult's rights. The notice shall 24 17 consist of handing the dependent adult a document that includes 24 18 the telephone numbers of shelters, support groups, and 24 19 crisis lines operating in the area and contains a copy of the 24 20 following written statement; requesting the dependent adult 24 21 to read the card; and asking the dependent adult whether the 24 22 dependent adult understands the rights: 24 23[a][1] You have the right to ask the court for the following 24 24 help on a temporary basis: 24 25[1][a] Keeping the alleged perpetrator away from you, your 24 26 home, and your place of work. 24 27[2][b] The right to stay at your home without interference 24 28 from the alleged perpetrator. 24 29[3][c] Professional counseling for you, your family, or 24 30 household members, and the alleged perpetrator of the dependent 24 31 adult abuse. 24 32[b][2] If you are in need of medical treatment, you have the 24 33 right to request that the peace officer present assist you in 24 34 obtaining transportation to the nearest hospital or otherwise 24 35 assist you. 25 1[c][3] If you believe that police protection is needed for 25 2 your physical safety, you have the right to request that the 25 3 peace officer present remain at the scene until you and other 25 4 affected parties can leave or safety is otherwise ensured. 25 5 Sec. 33.

Section 236.12, subsection 1, paragraph c, Code 25 33 2017, is amended to read as follows: 25 34 c. Providing an abused person with immediate and adequate 25 35 notice of the person's rights.
