 14 24 contributions under the abolished system, and who has not
 14 25 applied for and qualified for benefit payments under the
 14 26 abolished system, shall receive credit for years of prior
 14 27 service in the determination of retirement allowance payments
 14 28 under this chapter, if the member elects to become a member on
 14 29 or before October 1, 1953, the member has not made application
 14 30 for a refund of the part of the member's contributions under
 14 31 the abolished system which are payable under sections 97.50

 14 34 fund the amount of the member's contribution which would
 14 35 be subject to a claim for refund. The amount so credited
 15  1 shall, after transfer, be considered as a contribution to the
 15  2 retirement system made as of July 4, 1953, by the member and
 15  3 shall be included in the determination of the amount of moneys
 15  4 payable under this chapter. However, an employee who was under

 15 11 employee in the state of Iowa prior to July 1, 1947, and who is
 15 12 not eligible for prior service credit under other provisions
 15 13 of this section, is entitled to a credit for years of prior
 15 14 service in the determination of the retirement allowance
 15 15 payment under this chapter, provided the public employee makes
 15 16 application to the system for credit for prior public service,
 15 17 accompanied by verification of the person's claim as the system
 15 18 may require. The person's allowance for prior service credits
 15 19 shall be computed in the same manner as otherwise provided in
 15 20 this section, but shall not exceed the sum of four hundred
 15 21 fifty dollars nor be less than three hundred dollars per annum.
 15 22 Any such person is entitled to receive retirement allowances
 15 23 computed as provided by this chapter, effective from the date
 15 24 of application to the system, provided such application is
 15 25 approved. However, beginning July 1, 1975, the amount of such
 15 26 person's retirement allowance payment received during June
 15 27 1975, as computed under this section shall be increased by two
 15 28 hundred percent and the allowance for prior service credits
 15 29 shall not exceed one thousand three hundred fifty dollars nor
 15 30 be less than nine hundred dollars per annum. Effective July
 15 31 1, 1987, there is appropriated for each fiscal year from the
 15 32 Iowa public employees' retirement fund created in section 97B.7
 15 33 to the system an amount sufficient to fund the retirement
 15 34 allowance increases paid under this paragraph subsection.
 15 35 Effective July 1, 1980, a person with a record of thirty years
 16  1 as a public employee in the state of Iowa prior to July 1,
 16  2 1947, receiving retirement allowances under this chapter shall

 16  6 active, vested, or retired member and who (1) made application
 16  7 for and received a refund of contributions made under the
 16  8 abolished system or (2) has on deposit with the retirement fund
 16  9 contributions made under the abolished system shall be entitled
 16 10 to credit for years of prior service in the determination of
 16 11 retirement allowance payments by filing a written election
 16 12 with the system on or after July 1, 1978, and by redepositing
 16 13 any withdrawn contributions under the abolished system
 16 14 together with interest as stated in this paragraph subsection.
 16 15 Any individual who on or after July 1, 1978, is a retired
 16 16 member and who made application for and received a refund of
 16 17 contributions made under the abolished system may, by filing
 16 18 a written election with the system on or after July 1, 1978,
 16 19 have the system retain fifty percent of the monthly increase in
 16 20 retiree benefits that will accrue to the individual because of
 16 21 prior service. If the monthly increase in retirement benefits
 16 22 is less than ten dollars, the system shall retain five dollars
 16 23 of the scheduled increase, and if the monthly increase is less
 16 24 than five dollars, the provisions of this paragraph subsection
 16 25  shall not apply. The system shall continue to retain such
 16 26 funds until the withdrawn contributions, together with interest
 16 27 accrued to the month in which the written election is filed,
 16 28 have been repaid. Due notice of this provision shall be sent
 16 29 to all retired members on or after July 1, 1978. However, this
 16 30 paragraph subsection shall not apply to any person who received
 16 31 a refund of any membership service contributions unless the
 16 32 person repaid the membership service contributions pursuant
 16 33 to section 97B.80C; but a refund of contributions remitted
 16 34 for the calendar quarter ending September 30, 1953, which was
 16 35 based entirely upon employment which terminated prior to July
 17  1 4, 1953, shall not be considered as a refund of membership
 17  2 service contributions. The interest to be paid into the fund
 17  3 shall be compounded at the rates credited to member accounts
 17  4 from the date of payment of the refund of contributions under
 17  5 the abolished system to the date the member redeposits the
 17  6 refunded amount. The provisions of the first paragraph of
 17  7 this section subsection 1 relating to the consideration given
 17  8 to credited amounts shall apply to the redeposited amounts
 17  9 or to amounts left on deposit. Effective July 1, 1978, the
 17 10 provisions of this paragraph subsection shall apply to each
 17 11 individual who on or after July 1, 1978, was an active, vested,
 17 12 or retired member, but who was not in service on July 4, 1953.
 17 13 The period for filing the written election with the system and
 17 14 redepositing any withdrawn contributions together with interest
 17 15 accrued shall commence July 1, 1978. A member who is a retired
 17 16 member on or after July 1, 1978, may file written election with
 17 17 the system on or after July 1, 1978, to have the system retain
 17 18 fifty percent of the monthly increase as provided in this
 17 19 paragraph subsection.
 17 20    4.  Effective July 1, 2004, a member eligible for an
 17 21 increased retirement allowance because of the repayment of
 17 22 contributions under this section is entitled to receipt of
 17 23 adjustment payments beginning with the month in which payment

 19 27 follows:
 19 28    234.39  Responsibility for cost of services.
 19 29    1.  It is the intent of this chapter that an individual
 19 30 receiving foster care services and the individual's parents or
 19 31 guardians shall have primary responsibility for paying the cost
 19 32 of the care and services. The support obligation established
 19 33 and adopted under this section shall be consistent with the
 19 34 limitations on legal liability established under sections
 19 35 222.78 and 230.15, and by any other statute limiting legal
 20  1 responsibility for support which may be imposed on a person for
 20  2 the cost of care and services provided by the department. The
 20  3 department shall notify an individual's parents or guardians,
 20  4 at the time of the placement of an individual in foster care,
 20  5 of the responsibility for paying the cost of care and services.
 20  6 Support obligations shall be established as follows:
 20  7    1.  a.  For an individual to whom section 234.35, subsection
 20  8 1, is applicable, a dispositional order of the juvenile court
 20  9 requiring the provision of foster care, or an administrative
 20 10 order entered pursuant to chapter 252C, or any order
 20 11 establishing paternity and support for a child in foster care,
 20 12 shall establish, after notice and a reasonable opportunity to
 20 13 be heard is provided to a parent or guardian, the amount of
 20 14 the parent's or guardian's support obligation for the cost
 20 15 of foster care provided by the department. The amount of
 20 16 the parent's or guardian's support obligation and the amount
 20 17 of support debt accrued and accruing shall be established in
 20 18 accordance with the child support guidelines prescribed under
 20 19 section 598.21B.  However, the court, or the department of
 20 20 human services in establishing support by administrative order,
 20 21 may deviate from the prescribed obligation after considering
 20 22 a recommendation by the department for expenses related to
 20 23 goals and objectives of a case permanency plan as defined
 20 24 under section 237.15, and upon written findings of fact which
 20 25 specify the reason for deviation and the prescribed guidelines
 20 26 amount. Any order for support shall direct the payment of
 20 27 the support obligation to the collection services center for
 20 28 the use of the department's foster care recovery unit. The
 20 29 order shall be filed with the clerk of the district court
 20 30 in which the responsible parent or guardian resides and has
 20 31 the same force and effect as a judgment when entered in the
 20 32 judgment docket and lien index. The collection services center
 20 33 shall disburse the payments pursuant to the order and record
 20 34 the disbursements. If payments are not made as ordered, the
 20 35 child support recovery unit may certify a default to the court
 21  1 and the court may, on its own motion, proceed under section
 21  2 598.22 or 598.23 or the child support recovery unit may enforce
 21  3 the judgment as allowed by law. An order entered under this
 21  4 subsection paragraph may be modified only in accordance with
 21  5 the guidelines prescribed under section 598.21C, or under
 21  6 chapter 252H.
 21  7    2.  b.  For an individual who is served by the department
 21  8 of human services under section 234.35, and is not subject
 21  9 to a dispositional order of the juvenile court requiring the
 21 10 provision of foster care, the department shall determine the
 21 11 obligation of the individual's parent or guardian pursuant
 21 12 to chapter 252C and in accordance with the child support
 21 13 guidelines prescribed under section 598.21B.  However, the
 21 14 department may adjust the prescribed obligation for expenses
 21 15 related to goals and objectives of a case permanency plan as
 21 16 defined under section 237.15. An obligation determined under
 21 17 this subsection paragraph may be modified only in accordance
 21 18 with conditions under section 598.21C, or under chapter 252H.
 21 19    3.  2.  A person entitled to periodic support payments
 21 20 pursuant to an order or judgment entered in any action for
 21 21 support, who also is or has a child receiving foster care
 21 22 services, is deemed to have assigned to the department
 21 23 current and accruing support payments attributable to the
 21 24 child effective as of the date the child enters foster care
 21 25 placement, to the extent of expenditure of foster care funds.
 21 26 The department shall notify the clerk of the district court
 21 27 when a child entitled to support payments is receiving foster
 21 28 care services pursuant to chapter 234. Upon notification
 21 29 by the department that a child entitled to periodic support
 21 30 payments is receiving foster care services, the clerk of
 21 31 the district court shall make a notation of the automatic
 21 32 assignment in the judgment docket and lien index. The notation
 21 33 constitutes constructive notice of assignment. The clerk of
 21 34 court shall furnish the department with copies of all orders
 21 35 and decrees awarding support when the child is receiving
 22  1 foster care services. At the time the child ceases to receive
 22  2 foster care services, the assignment of support shall be
 22  3 automatically terminated. Unpaid support accrued under the
 22  4 assignment of support rights during the time that the child was
 22  5 in foster care remains due to the department up to the amount
 22  6 of unreimbursed foster care funds expended. The department
 22  7 shall notify the clerk of court of the automatic termination
 22  8 of the assignment. Unless otherwise specified in the support
 22  9 order, an equal and proportionate share of any child support
 22 10 awarded shall be presumed to be payable on behalf of each child
 22 11 subject to the order or judgment for purposes of an assignment
 22 12 under this section.
 22 13    4.  3.  The support debt for the costs of services, for which
 22 14 a support obligation is established pursuant to this section,
 22 15 which accrues prior to the establishment of the support debt,
 22 16 shall be collected, at a maximum, in the amount which is the
 22 17 amount of accrued support debt for the three months preceding
 22 18 the earlier of the following:
 22 19    a.  The provision by the child support recovery unit of the
 22 20 initial notice to the parent or guardian of the amount of the
 22 21 support obligation.
 22 22    b.  The date that the written request for a court hearing
 22 23 is received by the child support recovery unit as provided in
 22 24 section 252C.3 or 252F.3.
 22 25    5.  4.  If the department makes a subsidized guardianship
 22 26 payment for a child, the payment shall be considered a foster
 22 27 care payment for purposes of child support recovery. All
 22 28 provisions of this and other sections, and of rules and orders
 22 29 adopted or entered pursuant to those sections, including
 22 30 for the establishment of a paternity or support order, for
 22 31 the amount of a support obligation, for the modification or
 22 32 adjustment of a support obligation, for the assignment of
 22 33 support, and for enforcement shall apply as if the child
 22 34 were receiving foster care services, or were in foster care

 37 31 follows:
 37 32    404.5  Physical review of property by assessor.
 37 33    1.  The local assessor shall review each first=year
 37 34 application by making a physical review of the property, to

 38  3 as residential property or the applicable percent increase
 38  4 requirement adopted by the city or county under section
 38  5 404.2. If the assessor determines that the actual value of
 38  6 that real estate has increased by at least the requisite
 38  7 percent, the assessor shall proceed to determine the actual
 38  8 value of the property and certify the valuation determined
 38  9 pursuant to section 404.3 to the county auditor at the time of
 38 10 transmitting the assessment rolls. However, if a new structure
 38 11 is erected on land upon which no structure existed at the
 38 12 start of the new construction, the assessor shall proceed to
 38 13 determine the actual value of the property and certify the
 38 14 valuation determined pursuant to section 404.3 to the county
 38 15 auditor at the time of transmitting the assessment rolls. The
 38 16 assessor shall notify the applicant of the determination, and
 38 17 the assessor's decision may be appealed to the local board
 38 18 of review at the times specified in section 441.37. If an
 38 19 application for exemption is denied as a result of failure to
 38 20 sufficiently increase the value of the real estate as provided
 38 21 in section 404.3, the owner may file a first annual application
 38 22 in a subsequent year when additional improvements are made to
 38 23 satisfy requirements of section 404.3, and the provisions of
 38 24 section 404.4 shall apply. After the tax exemption is granted,
 38 25 the local assessor shall continue to grant the tax exemption,

 38 27 period specified in section 404.3, subsection 1, 2, 3, or 4, or
 38 28 specified in the different schedule if one has been adopted,
 38 29 under which the exemption was granted. The tax exemptions for
 38 30 the succeeding years shall be granted without the taxpayer
 38 31 having to file an application for the succeeding years.
 38 32    2.  For the purposes of this section, the actual value of

 39  6 exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller,
 39  7 neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and each
 39  8 being familiar with all the facts relating to the particular
 39  9 property.

 39 13 loss from a business operated by the taxpayer, and if the
 39 14 business does not qualify for the adjustment under subsection
 39 15 12, an additional deduction shall be allowed in computing the
 39 16 income or loss from the business if the business hired for
 39 17 employment in the state during its annual accounting period
 39 18 ending with or during the taxpayer's tax year either of the
 39 19 following:
 39 20    a.  (1)  An individual domiciled in this state at the time of
 39 21 the hiring who meets any of the following conditions:

 39 30 state at the time of the hiring, who is on parole or probation
 39 31 and to whom the interstate probation and parole compact under
 39 32 section 907A.1, Code 2001, applies, or to whom the interstate

 39 35    b.  The amount of the additional deduction is equal to
 40  1 sixty=five percent of the wages paid to individuals, but shall
 40  2 not exceed twenty thousand dollars per individual, named in
 40  3 paragraphs "a" paragraph "a", subparagraphs (1) and "b" (2)
 40  4  who were hired for the first time by that business during the
 40  5 annual accounting period for work done in the state. This
 40  6 additional deduction is allowed for the wages paid to those
 40  7 individuals successfully completing a probationary period
 40  8 during the twelve months following the date of first employment
 40  9 by the business and shall be deducted at the close of the
 40 10 annual accounting period.
 40 11    c.  The additional deduction shall not be allowed for wages
 40 12 paid to an individual who was hired to replace an individual
 40 13 whose employment was terminated within the twelve=month
 40 14 period preceding the date of first employment. However, if
 40 15 the individual being replaced left employment voluntarily
 40 16 without good cause attributable to the employer or if the
 40 17 individual was discharged for misconduct in connection with
 40 18 the individual's employment as determined by the department
 40 19 of workforce development, the additional deduction shall be
 40 20 allowed.
 40 21    d.  A taxpayer who is a partner of a partnership or a
 40 22 shareholder of a subchapter S corporation, may deduct that
 40 23 portion of wages qualified under this subsection paid by the
 40 24 partnership or subchapter S corporation based on the taxpayer's
 40 25 pro rata share of the profits or losses from the partnership or
 40 26 subchapter S corporation.
 40 27    e.  The department shall develop and distribute information
 40 28 concerning the deduction available for businesses employing
 40 29 persons named in paragraphs "a" paragraph "a", subparagraphs (1)
 40 30  and "b" (2).

 40 34 for damages resulting from exposure to the herbicide. This
 40 35 subsection applies to proceeds received by a taxpayer who is a
 41  1 disabled veteran or who is a beneficiary of a disabled veteran.
 41  2    b.  For purposes of this subsection:
 41  3    a.  (1)  "Vietnam herbicide" means a herbicide, defoliant
 41  4 or other causative agent containing dioxin, including, but

 41  8 trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and

 41 10    37.  a.  Notwithstanding the method for computing income from
 41 11 an installment sale under section 453 of the Internal Revenue
 41 12 Code, as defined in section 422.3, the method to be used in
 41 13 computing income from an installment sale shall be the method
 41 14 under section 453 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended up
 41 15 to and including January 1, 2000. A taxpayer affected by this
 41 16 subsection shall make adjustments in the adjusted gross income
 41 17 pursuant to rules adopted by the director.
 41 18    b.  The adjustment to net income provided in this subsection
 41 19 is repealed for tax years beginning on or after January 1,
 41 20 2002. However, to the extent that a taxpayer using the accrual
 41 21 method of accounting reported the entire capital gain from the
 41 22 sale or exchange of property on the Iowa return for the tax
 41 23 year beginning in the 2001 calendar year and the capital gain
 41 24 was reported on the installment method on the federal income
 41 25 tax return, any additional installment from the capital gain
 41 26 reported for federal income tax purposes is not to be included
 41 27 in net income in tax years beginning on or after January 1,
 41 28 2002.
 41 29    Sec. 69.  Section 441.10, Code 2016, is amended to read as
 41 30 follows:
 41 31    441.10  Deputies == examination and appointment == suspension
 41 32 or discharge.
 41 33    1.  Immediately after the appointment of the assessor,
 41 34 and at other times as the conference board directs, one or
 41 35 more deputy assessors may be appointed by the assessor. Each
 42  1 appointment shall be made from either the list of eligible
 42  2 candidates provided by the director of revenue, which shall
 42  3 contain only the names of those persons who achieve a score of
 42  4 seventy percent or greater on the examination administered by
 42  5 the director of revenue, or the list of candidates eligible
 42  6 for appointment as city or county assessor. Examinations for
 42  7 the position of deputy assessor shall be conducted in the same
 42  8 manner as examinations for the position of city or county
 42  9 assessor.
 42 10    2.  Following the administration of the examination, the
 42 11 director of revenue shall establish a register containing
 42 12 the names, in alphabetical order, of all individuals who are
 42 13 eligible for appointment as a deputy assessor. The test scores
 42 14 of individuals on the register shall be given to a city or
 42 15 county conference board upon request. All eligible individuals
 42 16 shall remain on the register for a period of two years
 42 17 following the date of certification granted by the director.
 42 18    3.  Incumbent deputy assessors who have served six
 42 19 consecutive years shall be placed on the register of
 42 20 individuals eligible for appointment as deputy assessor. In
 42 21 order to be appointed to the position of deputy assessor, the
 42 22 deputy assessor shall comply with the continuing education
 42 23 requirements. The number of credits required for certification
 42 24 as eligible for appointment as a deputy assessor in a
 42 25 jurisdiction other than where the deputy assessor is currently
 42 26 serving shall be prorated according to the percentage of the
 42 27 deputy assessor's term which is covered by the continuing
 42 28 education requirements of section 441.8. The credit necessary
 42 29 for certification for appointment is the product of ninety
 42 30 multiplied by the quotient of the number of months served of
 42 31 a deputy assessor's term covered by the continuing education
 42 32 requirements of section 441.8 divided by seventy=two. If the
 42 33 number of credits necessary for certification for appointment
 42 34 as determined under this paragraph subsection results in a
 42 35 partial credit hour, the credit hour shall be rounded to the
 43  1 nearest whole number.
 43  2    4.  The assessor may peremptorily suspend or discharge
 43  3 any deputy assessor under the assessor's direction upon
 43  4 written charges for neglect of duty, disobedience of orders,
 43  5 misconduct, or failure to properly perform the deputy
 43  6 assessor's duties. Within five days after delivery of written
 43  7 charges to the employee, the deputy assessor may appeal by
 43  8 written notice to the secretary or chairperson of the examining
 43  9 board. The board shall grant the deputy assessor a hearing
 43 10 within fifteen days, and a decision by a majority of the
 43 11 examining board is final. The assessor shall designate one of
 43 12 the deputies as chief deputy, and the assessor shall assign to
 43 13 each deputy the duties, responsibilities, and authority as is
 43 14 proper for the efficient conduct of the assessor's office.
 43 15    Sec. 70.  Section 445.3, Code 2016, is amended to read as
 43 16 follows:
 43 17    445.3  Actions authorized.
 43 18    1.  In addition to all other remedies and proceedings
 43 19 now provided by law for the collection of taxes, the county
 43 20 treasurer may bring or cause an ordinary suit at law to be
 43 21 commenced and prosecuted in the treasurer's name for the use
 43 22 and benefit of the county for the collection of taxes from
 43 23 any person, as shown by the county system in the treasurer's
 43 24 office, and the suit shall be in all respects commenced, tried,
 43 25 and prosecuted to final judgment the same as provided for
 43 26 ordinary actions.
 43 27    2.  The commencement of actions for ad valorem taxes
 43 28 authorized under this section shall not begin until the
 43 29 issuance of a tax sale certificate under the requirements of
 43 30 section 446.19. The commencement of actions for all other
 43 31 taxes authorized under this section shall not begin until ten
 43 32 days after the publication of tax sale under the requirements
 43 33 of section 446.9, subsection 2. This paragraph subsection does
 43 34 not apply to the collection of ad valorem taxes under section
 43 35 445.32, and grain handling taxes under section 428.35.
 44  1    3.  Notwithstanding the provisions in section 535.3,
 44  2 interest on the judgment shall be at the rate provided
 44  3 in section 447.1 and shall commence from the month of the
 44  4 commencement of the action. This interest shall be in lieu of
 44  5 the interest assessed under section 445.39 from and after the
 44  6 month of the commencement of the action.
 44  7    4.  An appeal may be taken to the Iowa supreme court as in
 44  8 other civil cases regardless of the amount involved.
 44  9    5.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this section,
 44 10 if the treasurer is unable or has reason to believe that the
 44 11 treasurer will be unable to offer land at the annual tax sale
 44 12 to collect the total amount due, the treasurer may immediately
 44 13 collect the total amount due by the commencement of an action
 44 14 under this section.
 44 15    6.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a statute
 44 16 authorizes the collection of a delinquent tax, assessment,
 44 17 rate, or charge by tax sale, the tax, assessment, rate, or
 44 18 charge, including interest, fees, and costs, may also be
 44 19 collected under this section and section 445.4.
 44 20    7.  This section is remedial and shall apply to all
 44 21 delinquent taxes included in a tax sale certificate of purchase
 44 22 issued to a county. Upon assignment of a county=held tax sale
 44 23 certificate, this section shall not apply to the assignee.
 44 24    Sec. 71.  Section 452A.10, Code 2016, is amended to read as

 49 30 report covering such matters as the board may direct.
 49 31 Additional surveys and reports must be made in accordance with

 50 17 same right of appeal from this classification as they would
 50 18 have if the petition had not requested a classification prior

 50 20 establishment.
 50 21    Sec. 82.  Section 468.35, subsection 2, Code 2016, is amended

 50 34 of funds or services from the federal government which would
 50 35 otherwise be available, or if the maximum limit would otherwise
 51  1 be inconsistent with the requirements of federal law, the
 51  2 maximum limit may be suspended to the extent necessary to

 51  5 or share draft of an unsuccessful bidder shall be returned,
 51  6 and the bid bond of an unsuccessful bidder shall be canceled.
 51  7 The bid security of a successful bidder shall be maintained

 51 24 after the acceptance of the work.
 51 25    2.  If any claims for damages have been filed as provided
 51 26 in section 468.102, the board shall review said claims and

 51 28 on any claim for damages results in a finding by the board
 51 29 that the damages resulting to the claimant were due to the
 51 30 negligence of the contractor, then the board shall provide for
 51 31 payment of said the claim out of the remaining funds owing to
 51 32 the contractor. If the determination by the board results
 51 33 in a finding that the damages resulting to the claimant were
