Text

1. a. The department may employ additional full-time equivalent positions to enforce the
provisions of this chapter and chapters 137A, 137C, 137D, and 137E with the approval of the
department of management, if either of the following apply:
(1) A municipal corporation operating pursuant to a chapter 28E agreement with the
department to enforce the chapters either fails to renew the agreement effective after April 1,
2007, or discontinues, after April 1, 2007, enforcement activities in one or more jurisdictions
during the agreement time frame.
(2) The department cancels an agreement after April 1, 2007, due to noncompliance with
the terms of the agreement.
b. Before approval may be given, the director of the department of management must
have determined that the expenses exceed the funds budgeted by the general assembly for
food inspections to the department. The department may hire no more than one full-time
equivalent position for each six hundred inspections required pursuant to this chapter and
chapters 137A, 137C, 137D, and 137E.
2. Notwithstanding chapter 137D, and sections 137C.9 and 137F.6, if the conditions
described in this section are met, fees imposed pursuant to that chapter and those sections
shall be retained by and are appropriated to the department each fiscal year to provide for
salaries, support, maintenance, and miscellaneous purposes associated with the additional
inspections. The appropriation made in this subsection is not applicable in a fiscal year for
which the general assembly enacts an appropriation made for the purposes described in this
subsection.
