        477C.1  DUAL PARTY RELAY SERVICE -- PURPOSE.         The general assembly finds that the provision of a statewide dual      party relay service will further the public interest and protect the      health, safety, and welfare of the people of Iowa through an increase      in the usefulness and availability of the telephone system.  Many      persons who are deaf, hard-of- hearing, or have speech impairments      are not able to utilize the telephone system without this type of      service.  Therefore, it is the purpose of this chapter to enable the      orderly development, operation, promotion, and funding of a statewide      dual party relay service.
