What’s in it
This bill directs the department of education to establish a work group to meet during the 2019 legislative interim to examine issues and develop policy recommendations relating to the reunification of an unaccompanied child with the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian after a natural disaster or school evacuation. The work group shall request information from the department of public safety, the Iowa emergency management directors association, a police officers association, a firefighters association, and other agencies or entities as deemed appropriate.
Read the full explanation
The work group is directed to identify gaps in federal and state authority related to the federal or state agency responsible for the reunification of an unaccompanied child with the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian following a natural disaster or school evacuation. The work group is required to make recommendations related to the implementation of an emergency child reunification team to be activated when the governor requests federal funding related to a natural disaster or a school evacuation. The work group is required to submit findings, recommendations, and proposed legislation to the governor and the general assembly by January 15, 2020.
