Legislative News By State Representative Julian B. Garrett New Laws Take Effect A number of new laws take effect July 1. I have discussed a number of the major laws in prior news- letters. A few of the other new laws are: School Employee Back- ground Checks - Senate File 452: This law will require all school employees to un- dergo a check of the sex offender registry, child abuse registry and the de- pended adult abuse regis- try prior to employment. For current employees, school districts are re- quired to establish a policy which would require these employees to undergo the record check at least every five years after their date of hire. Aquatic Invasive Species - House File 522 This law helps to pre- vent and control undesir- able aquatic invasive spe- cies in Iowa waters. Online License Renewal - House File 355 This law permits re- newing a driver's license online under some cir- cumstances. Beginning Farmer Tax Credit - House File 599 This law expands the Beginning Farmer Tax Credit program both in its provisions and in the amount of tax credit avail- able. It also streamlines the Iowa Agricultural Devel- I opment Authority (IADA) administrative process for implementing the credits. Clerk of Court Offices- Full Time I am pleased to see that the State Court Adminis- trator has announced that all County Clerk of Court offices will be again open full time by September 3. About 29 counties in northwest and central Iowa that have imple- mented electronic filing will actually open full time July 15 according to the announcement. Electronic filing should reduce the workload on the clerks though there are more cases filed as time goes by. Electronic filing also will make it easier for employ- ees in one county to help process filings in another county. You may recall that I have been fighting to get this done for the last three years. With additional funding and pressure from the Claairman of the House Justice Systems Appro- priations Subcommittee and me, it appears that we finally will see the offices open full time again. This will be the first time that the Clerk of Court offices have been open to the pub- lic full time since the Cul- ver 10% across the board budget cuts in November 2009. Most Clerks' offices have been closed Tuesday and Thursday afternoons since then. Fourth of July Parade, I will be walking in the Norwalk Fourth of July parade. I'll look for you as I go by!
