        316.4  MOVING AND RELATED EXPENSES.
         1.  If a program or project undertaken by a displacing agency will
      result in the displacement of a person, the displacing agency shall
      make a payment to the displaced person, upon proper application as
      approved by the displacing agency, for actual reasonable and
      necessary expenses incurred in moving the person, the person's
      family, business, farm operation, or other personal property subject
      to rules and limits established by the department.  The payment may
      also provide for actual direct losses of tangible personal property,
      purchase of substitute personal property, business reestablishment
      expenses, storage expenses, and expenses incurred in searching for a
      replacement business or farm.
         2.  A displaced person eligible for payments under subsection 1,
      who is displaced from a dwelling and who elects to accept the
      payments authorized by this subsection in lieu of the payments
      authorized by subsection 1, may receive a moving expense and
      dislocation allowance determined according to a schedule established
      by the department.
         3.  A displaced person, as defined in section 316.1, subsection 2,
      paragraph "a", eligible for payments under subsection 1, who is
      displaced from the person's place of business or farm operation and
      who is eligible, may elect to accept the payment authorized by this
      subsection in lieu of the payment authorized by subsection 1.  The
      payment shall consist of a fixed payment in an amount to be
      determined according to criteria established by the department.  A
      person whose sole business at the displaced dwelling is the rental of
      the real property does not qualify for a payment under this
      subsection.
