1. An anatomical gift public awareness and transplantation fund
is created as a separate fund in the state treasury under the control
of the Iowa department of public health. The fund shall consist of
moneys remitted by the county treasurer of a county or by the
department of transportation which were collected through the payment
of a contribution made by an applicant for registration of a motor
vehicle pursuant to section 321.44A and any other contributions to
the fund.
2. The moneys collected under this section and deposited in the
fund are appropriated to the Iowa department of public health for the
purposes specified in this section. Moneys in the fund shall not be
subject to appropriation or expenditure for any other purpose.
3. The treasurer of state shall act as custodian of the fund and
shall disburse amounts contained in the fund as directed by the
department. The treasurer of state may invest the moneys deposited
in the fund. The income from any investment shall be credited to and
deposited in the fund. Notwithstanding section 8.33, moneys in the
fund are not subject to reversion to the general fund of the state.
The fund shall be administered by the department which shall make
expenditures from the fund consistent with the purposes of this
section.
4. The Iowa department of public health may use not more than
five percent of the moneys in the fund for administrative costs. The
remaining moneys in the fund may be expended through grants to any of
the following persons, subject to the following conditions:
a. Not more than twenty percent of the moneys in the fund
annually may be expended in the form of grants to state agencies or
to nonprofit legal entities with an interest in anatomical gift
public awareness and transplantation to conduct public awareness
projects. Moneys remaining that were not requested and awarded for
public awareness projects may be used to support the Iowa donor
registry. Grants shall be made based upon the submission of a grant
application.
b. Not more than thirty percent of the moneys in the fund
annually may be expended in the form of grants to hospitals for
reimbursement for costs directly related to the development of
in-hospital anatomical gift public awareness projects, anatomical
gift referral protocols, and associated administrative expenses. As
a condition of receiving a grant, a hospital shall demonstrate,
through documentation, that the hospital, during the previous
calendar year, properly complied with in-hospital anatomical gift
request protocols for all deaths occurring in the hospital at a
percentage rate which places the hospital in the upper fifty percent

annually may be expended in the form of grants to transplant
recipients, transplant candidates, living organ donors, or to legal

candidates, or living organ donors. Transplant recipients,
transplant candidates, living organ donors, or the legal
representatives of transplant recipients, transplant candidates, or
living organ donors shall submit grant applications with supporting
documentation provided by a hospital that performs transplants,
verifying that the person by or for whom the application is submitted
requires a transplant or is a living organ donor and specifying the
amount of the costs associated with the following, if funds are not
available from any other third-party payor:
(1) The costs of the organ transplantation procedure.
