increases

the

which

a

person

8

performing

work

DOM

or

an

individual

13

The

bill

prohibits

the

inclusion

of

certain

provisions

in

14

information

technology

contracts

and

declares

those

provisions

15

void

if

present

in

such

contracts.

The

bill

also

provides

16

that

such

contracts

are

deemed

to

include

provisions

relating

17

to

state

data,

requiring

the

contract

to

be

governed

by

Iowa

18

and

requiring

related

to

the

contract

to

be

19

brought

authorizes

the

The

makes

all

other

26

entities

confidential

and

allows

the

28

Under

current

law,

the

department

of

health

and

human

29

services

serves

as

the

Iowa

center

and

30

maintains

an

integrated

32

transfers

these

and

duties

to

and

grants

DOM

for

the

system.

If

DOM

lacks

sufficient

moneys

to

perform

the

9

authorized

tasks

of

the

Iowa

statistical

analysis

center,

the

10

bill

allows

DOM

to

determine

which,

if

any,

to

implement.

11

The

bill

states

that

DOM

is

not

the

lawful

custodian

under

12

Code

chapter

(open

records)

for

records

DOM

maintains

in

13

DOM’s

information

capacity

for

other

as

an

unit

of

government

or

when

15

held

by

DOM

solely

for

for

another

requires

deny
