     145.951 Children helped in long-term development; 
  implementation plan. 


    The commissioner of health, in consultation with the 
 commissioners of education; corrections; public safety; and 
 human services, and with the directors of the Office of 
 Strategic and Long-Range Planning, the Council on Disability, 
 and the councils and commission under sections 3.922 to 3.9226, 
 may develop an implementation plan for the establishment of a 
 statewide program to assist families in developing the full 
 potential of their children.  The program must be designed to 
 strengthen the family, to reduce the risk of abuse to children, 
 and to promote the long-term development of children in their 
 home environments.  The program must also be designed to use 
 volunteers to provide support to parents, and to link parents 
 with existing public health, education, and social services as 
 appropriate.
