 70 16 the utilities board shall cause the publication of notice

 70 26 or modifications are required, or if the petitioner shall fail
 70 27 to make a sufficient and proper showing of the necessity for
 70 28 the granting of a franchise within six months of the granting
 70 29 of the temporary construction permit, the permit issued
 70 30 hereunder shall become null and void and the permit holder may
 70 31 be required to take such action deemed necessary by the board
 70 32 to remove, modify or relocate the construction undertaken by
 70 33 virtue of the temporary permit issued hereunder.

114 34 agencies which are owed or which owe a debt.
114 35    Sections 12B.10, 12B.10C, 490.1302, 502A.4, and 551A.4:
115  1 Updates United State code references to the federal Investment

115 26 society.  Because the number of congressional districts has
115 27 changed in the past, adding a reference to Code section 40.1 in
115 28 these locations would help raise awareness of the impact that

116 33 initial general requirement for rules adoption by the Iowa
116 34 finance authority, standardizes language relating to rules
116 35 regarding definitions, and substitutes "the authority" for the

118 10 the entirety of the paragraph and not just to the former
118 11 subparagraph to which it currently is attached.
118 12    Section 28M.7: Changes "government" to "governmental"
118 13 in references to certain public entities to conform to the

118 21 not to Code section 29B.116A.
118 22    Section 29B.116B:  Supplies the missing word "been" in
118 23 language relating to the annual adjutant general's report

123 21 in this provision that establishes updates and parallel

123 25    Section 229.26:  Strikes the words "or an intellectual
123 26 disability" in language regarding involuntary hospitalization

125 32    Sections 260C.58 and 262.49:  Sets out in an enumerated
125 33 list language, which currently appears after a colon within a

127 31    Section 321E.11: Corrects an internal reference to the
127 32 definition for the term "urban transit system". Code section
127 33 321.19 defines the term "urban transit company" but, although
127 34 the Code section refers to systems, it does not define "urban
127 35 transit systems". A definition of the term is contained in
128  1 Code section 324A.1.

129  7    Section 422.11L:  Corrects a reference to the federal
129  8 residential energy efficient property credit related to solar
129  9 energy in the federal Internal Revenue Code by changing the

130 21 facility that had a contract for coal produced in Iowa and
130 22 which met the emission standards in effect at the time the
130 23 contract went into effect.  Coal has not been mined in this

130 26 language relating to adoption of rules relating to discharge

131 27    Section 461A.57:  Adds language relating to alternative
131 28 punishment to reflect the fact that several but not all of
