Iowa § 252B.27

• Jurisdiction: Iowa
• Title VI: HUMAN SERVICES
• Ch. 252B: CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES

Text

1. The director, within the limitations of the amount appropriated for child support
services, or moneys transferred for this purpose from the appropriation to the department
29 CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES, §252B.27
for community access and eligibility, may establish new positions and add employees to child
support services if the director determines that both the current and additional employees
together can reasonably be expected to maintain or increase net state revenue at or beyond
the budgeted level for the fiscal year.
2. a. The director may establish new positions and add state employees to child support
services or contract for delivery of services if the director determines the employees are
necessary to replace county-funded positions eliminated due to termination, reduction, or
nonrenewal of a chapter 28E contract. However, the director must also determine that the
resulting increase in the state share of child support services incentives exceeds the cost
of the positions or contract, the positions or contract are necessary to ensure continued
federal funding of child support services, or the new positions or contract can reasonably be
expected to recover at least twice the amount of money necessary to pay the salaries and
support for the new positions or the contract will generate at least two hundred percent of
the cost of the contract.
b. Employees in full-time positions that transition from county government to state
government employment under this subsection are exempt from testing, selection, and
appointment provisions of chapter 8A, subchapter IV, and from the provisions of collective
bargaining agreements relating to the filling of vacant positions.
