La explicación oficial está en inglés; todavía no hay resumen en palabras sencillas.
This bill designates graduate medical residents working in private or public hospitals and licensed pursuant to Code section 148.5 as employees of the state under the Iowa tort claims Act codified as Code chapter 669. Under current law, graduate medical residents at state hospitals are protected under the Iowa tort claims Act. The Iowa tort claims Act provides that upon certification by the attorney general that a defendant in a suit was an employee of the state acting within the scope of the employee’s office or employment at the time of the incident upon which the claim is based, the suit commenced upon the claim shall be deemed to be an action against the state and if the state is not already a defendant, the state shall be substituted as the defendant in place of the employee.

Description
House File 852 expands the Medical Residency Training Program (the Program) established in Iowa Code section 135.176 to include medical residency liability costs as an applicable use for grant funds subject to the provision that the residency sponsor provide matching funds dollar-for-dollar. The strike after amendment adopted by the House does not specifically limit liability costs to insurance premiums. The Bill excludes residency programs affiliated with patients or inmates of State institutions under the jurisdiction of the Department of Human Services or the Iowa Department of Corrections, or employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Bill also states that this expansion of the Program shall begin July 1, 2021, and end June 30, 2026.
Background
With the exception of FY 2018, wherein it was temporarily suspended, the Medical Residency Training Program has received an appropriation for $2.0 million each year since its inception in FY 2014. The cost of the program is limited by the amount appropriated each year.
Fiscal Impact
House File 852 does not create a fiscal impact on the State as the Program’s appropriated funding amount is not modified by HF 852.
