What’s in it
This bill establishes the appeal procedure if a veteran or surviving spouse of a veteran is denied admission to the Iowa veterans home. The bill provides that if a veteran or surviving spouse of a veteran is denied admission, the commandant of the veterans home, or the commandant’s designee, shall notify the veteran or surviving spouse, in writing, of the decision, the basis for the decision, and the right to appeal the decision. The bill provides that an appeal, if made, must be filed with the commission of veterans affairs within five calendar days of the notice of denial.
Read the full explanation
The commission shall conduct a contested case proceeding concerning the denial and notify the parties of the decision in writing. The nonprevailing party then has five calendar days to appeal the commission’s decision to the department of inspections and appeals. Once the department of inspections and appeals renders a decision, the bill provides that a party not satisfied with that decision may seek judicial review of the decision in accordance with Code chapter 17A.
