135C.13 - JUDICIAL REVIEW.
135C.13 JUDICIAL REVIEW.
Judicial review of any action of the director may be sought in
accordance with the terms of the Iowa administrative procedure Act,
chapter 17A. Notwithstanding the terms of said Act, petitions for
judicial review may be filed in the district court of the county
where the facility or proposed facility is located, and pending final
disposition of the matter the status quo of the applicant or licensee
shall be preserved except when the director, with the advice and
consent of the resident advocate committee established pursuant to
section 135C.25, determines that the health, safety or welfare of the
residents of the facility is in immediate danger, in which case the
director may order the immediate removal of such residents. The fact
that no resident advocate committee has been appointed for a
particular facility shall not bar the director from exercising the
emergency powers granted by this subsection with respect to that
facility. Section History: Early Form
