Many MHDS regions fund some services for children, such as crisis services, but they do not fund all of the core services nor does every region fund children's services or have access to crisis services for children. There will be additional Medicaid costs to fund increased access to Medicaid-funded services, such as crisis services. These changes are expected to increase costs for both the Medicaid program and MHDS regions. The amendments also make changes in MHDS regional governance structure and reporting requirements and establish eligibility standards for children's behavioral health services. The amendments provide guidance to mental health and disability services (MHDS) regions in developing the new children's behavioral health core services and include new definitions, provider standards, access standards, and implementation dates. These proposed amendments to Chapter 25 provide the framework for a children's behavioral health system requiring certain children's behavioral health core services for children with a serious emotional disturbance. This rule making implements, in whole or in part, 2019 Iowa Acts, chapter 61.
This rule making is proposed under the authority provided in Iowa Code chapter 331. The Human Services Department hereby proposes to amend Chapter 25, "Disability Services Management," Iowa Administrative Code.

The latest proposed carbon pipeline would transport liquid carbon dioxide from ethanol plants in Cedar Rapids and Clinton to Illinois.

The months-long process culminates in a multiday hearing that includes the consideration of eminent domain requests.
Pipeline companies must hold the meetings before petitioning for a permit. The board also set a virtual online meeting for Sept. 31, noon, in Scott County: RiverCenter, 136 E. 30, 6 p.m., in Clinton County: Wild Rose Convention Center, 777 Wild Rose Drive, Clinton 30, noon, in Linn County: Veterans Memorial Building, 50 Second Ave. 29, 6 p.m., in Cedar County: Tipton High School, 400 E. 29, noon, in Johnson County: North Liberty Community Center, 520 W. Such meetings are held in each county and typically include the board’s overview of the hazardous liquid pipeline permit process - including an explanation of the potential use of eminent domain to obtain easements for the pipeline - and the company’s explanation of the project with a more-detailed route through the county. The project has the potential to affect landowners in five counties: Cedar, Clinton, Johnson, Linn and Scott. Wolf Carbon Solutions wants to lay the pipe to transport captured carbon dioxide from two ethanol plants in Cedar Rapids and Clinton to Illinois, where it would be pumped deep into the ground. The Iowa Utilities Board on Thursday set public informational meetings in late August for a proposed liquid carbon pipeline in eastern Iowa with a route that totals about 90 miles.
