 11 30 in the company provided that the remuneration is allocated
 11 31 among members, and among classes of members, in proportion to
 11 32 their respective investments in the company. If the amount of
 11 33 remuneration attributable to a membership interest cannot be
 11 34 determined, the entire amount of remuneration shall be deemed
 11 35 to be based on services performed.
 12  1    Sec. 26.  Section 97B.44, Code 2017, is amended to read as
 12  2 follows:
 12  3    97B.44  Beneficiary.
 12  4    1.  Each member shall designate on a form to be furnished
 12  5 by the system a beneficiary for death benefits payable under
 12  6 this chapter on the death of the member. The designation may
 12  7 be changed from time to time by the member by filing a new
 12  8 designation with the system.
 12  9    2.  A designation or change in designation made by a member
 12 10 on or after July 1, 2000, shall contain the written consent of
 12 11 the member's spouse, if applicable.  However, the system may
 12 12 accept a married member's designation or change in designation
 12 13 under this section without the written consent of the member's
 12 14 spouse if the member submits a notarized statement indicating
 12 15 that the member has been unable to locate the member's spouse
 12 16 to obtain the written consent of the spouse after reasonable
 12 17 diligent efforts. The member's designation or change in
 12 18 designation shall become effective upon filing the necessary
 12 19 forms, including the notarized statement, with the system. The
 12 20 system shall not be liable to the member, the member's spouse,
 12 21 or to any other person affected by the member's designation or
 12 22 change of designation, based upon a designation or change of
 12 23 designation accomplished without the written consent of the
 12 24 member's spouse.
 12 25    3.  The designation of a beneficiary is not applicable if the
 12 26 member receives a refund of all contributions of the member.
 12 27 If a member who has received a refund of contributions returns
 12 28 to employment, the member shall file a new designation with the
 12 29 system.
 12 30    4.  If a member has not designated a beneficiary on a
 12 31 form furnished by the system, or if there are no surviving
 12 32 designated beneficiaries of a member, death benefits payable
 12 33 under this chapter shall be paid to the member's estate.
 12 34    However, the system may accept a married member's
 12 35 designation or change in designation under this section without
 13  1 the written consent of the member's spouse if the member
 13  2 submits a notarized statement indicating that the member has
 13  3 been unable to locate the member's spouse to obtain the written
 13  4 consent of the spouse after reasonable diligent efforts. The
 13  5 member's designation or change in designation shall become
 13  6 effective upon filing the necessary forms, including the
 13  7 notarized statement, with the system. The system shall not
 13  8 be liable to the member, the member's spouse, or to any other
 13  9 person affected by the member's designation or change of
 13 10 designation, based upon a designation or change of designation
 13 11 accomplished without the written consent of the member's
 13 12 spouse.
 13 13    Sec. 27.  Section 103A.41, Code 2017, is amended to read as
 13 14 follows:
 13 15    103A.41  State historic building code.
 13 16    The commissioner, with the approval of the state historical

 13 22 designated by state agencies or governmental subdivisions as
 13 23 qualified historic buildings which are included in, or appear
 13 24 to meet criteria for inclusion in, the national register of
 13 25 historic places. The alternative building standards and
 13 26 building regulations comprise and shall be known as the state
 13 27 historic building code. The purpose of the state historic
 13 28 building code is to facilitate the restoration or change of
 13 29 occupancy of qualified historic buildings or structures so as
 13 30 to preserve their original or restored architectural elements
 13 31 and features and, concurrently, to provide reasonable safety
 13 32 from fire and other hazards for the occupants and users,
 13 33 through a cost=effective approach to preservation.

 14  4 chapter shall keep records and maintain inventories in
 14  5 conformance with the recordkeeping and inventory requirements
 14  6 of federal law and with such additional rules as may be issued

 14  9 keep records of receipt and disbursements of such drugs,
 14 10 including dispensing or other disposition, and information
 14 11 as to controlled substances stolen, lost, or destroyed. In
 14 12 every such case the records of controlled substance received
 14 13 shall show the date of receipt, the name and address of the
 14 14 person from whom received, and the kind and quantity of drugs
 14 15 received. The record of all controlled substances dispensed or
 14 16 otherwise disposed of, shall show the date of dispensing, the
 14 17 name and address of the person to whom or for whose use, or the
 14 18 owner and species of animal for which the drugs were dispensed
 14 19 and the kind and quantity of drugs dispensed.
 14 20    b.  Every such record shall be kept for a period of two
 14 21 years from the date of the transaction recorded. Records of
 14 22 controlled substances lost, destroyed, or stolen, shall contain
 14 23 a detailed list of the kind and quantity of such drugs and the
 14 24 date of the discovery of such loss, destruction, or theft.
 14 25    2.  No person shall distribute complimentary packages of
 14 26 controlled substances, to a practitioner unless that person

 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.  It is unlawful for any person to sponsor, promote, or
 15  3 aid, or assist in the sponsoring or promoting of a meeting,
 15  4 gathering, or assemblage with the knowledge or intent that a
 15  5 controlled substance be there distributed, used, or possessed,
 15  6 in violation of this chapter.
 15  7    2.  a.  Any person who violates this section and where the
 15  8 controlled substance is any one other than marijuana is guilty
 15  9 of a class "D" felony.
 15 10    b.  Any person who violates this section, and where the
 15 11 controlled substance is marijuana only, is guilty of a serious
 15 12 misdemeanor.
 15 13    3.  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 district court may, upon application and a showing
 15 22 of one or more of the grounds provided in section 639.3, grant
 15 23 to the state or governmental subdivision thereof a writ of
 15 24 attachment, ex parte, without bond, in an amount necessary to
 15 25 secure the payment of any fine that may be imposed and the
 15 26 payment of costs. 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 22    1A.  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 27    2.  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 31    3.  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 subsection 9 11,
 18  2 to the director of human services for the purposes of placement
 18  3 in the Iowa juvenile home at Toledo.
 18  4    4.  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 subsection 3 4,
 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 27    5.  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 24    5A.  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 32    6.  8.  The child shall not be placed in the state training
 19 33 school.
 19 34    7.  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 28    8.  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 33    9.  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 30    10.  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  8    11.  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 11    12.  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
