Iowa Code r. 641-113.4 - [Effective until 8/1/2025] Public health response team members
(1)
Registration and approval. An individual may apply to the
department to be a public health response team member. The applicant shall
apply on the Iowa statewide registry of volunteers (iSERV) Web site or on a
form approved by the department and shall provide all requested information.
The department shall register and approve an individual to serve as a PHRT
member when the department is satisfied that the individual satisfies the
requirements of this chapter and will perform on a PHRT in compliance with Iowa
Code section 135.143 and this chapter. Upon
registration and approval of an individual, the department shall provide the
individual with written notification that the individual is registered with the
department and has been approved to serve on a public health response team. The
written notification shall also include the effective date of the approval and
the terms and conditions of approval.
(2)
Denial and revocation.
The department may deny approval to an individual or may revoke an individual's
approval if the department determines that the individual has violated or
failed to comply with Iowa Code section
135.143 or this chapter, any
term or condition contained in the written approval notification from the
department, any operational procedure, or state or federal law, or has exposed
or may expose the state to undue risk. The department shall notify the
individual of the department's decision in writing by certified mail, return
receipt requested. In the event an individual is dissatisfied with the
department's decision, the individual may submit a request for reconsideration
with the division director. Such request shall be delivered by certified mail,
return receipt requested, within 20 days of the date of the denial or
revocation notification, to Division Director, Division of Acute Disease
Prevention and Emergency Response, Lucas State Office Building, 321 E. 12th
Street, Des Moines Iowa 50319. The division director shall review the matter
and issue a written decision within 20 days of receipt of the request. The
division director's decision shall be final agency action. This appeal process
does not constitute a contested case proceeding as defined in Iowa Code chapter
17A.
(3)
Effect of
revocation. If the department revokes a public health response team
member's approval, the action may preclude future eligibility, but shall not
negate defense and indemnification coverage or other protection for covered
acts or omissions which occurred during the effective date of
approval.
