Read the official explanation

This bill relates to the Iowa drug policy coordinator and the Iowa drug policy advisory council. The bill makes changes to the terminology used in describing the duties of the Iowa drug policy coordinator. “Narcotics enforcement” is changed to “drug enforcement”, and “substance abuse” is changed to “substance use disorder” when referring to treatment programs and professionals. The bill increases the number of members of the Iowa drug policy advisory council from to 17. The additional members, to be appointed by the governor, are the state public defender or the state public defender’s designee, and a police chief. The names of certain current members on the advisory council are changed to more accurately describe the stakeholders.
