The Iowa Supreme Court established the Guardianship and Conservatorship Reform Task Force to address the challenges that the Iowa guardianship and conservatorship system faces now and will face in the future in meeting the needs of vulnerable Iowans who lack the ability to make decision for themselves and are in need of care and protection. This Final Report of the Iowa Guardianship and Conservatorship Task Force presents 232 recommendations to reform the Iowa guardianship and conservatorship system. These recommendations provide a comprehensive roadmap for future directions of the system. The Task Force recommendations are the product of the efforts of more than 70 individuals who served as members of the Task Force Steering Committee, the five Task Force Work Groups, and the Task Force Committee on Clinical Evaluation. The Task Force brought together representatives of the many stakeholders in the guardianship and conservatorship system―judges, other judicial branch personnel, attorneys, guardians and conservators, advocates for individuals with disabilities, mental illnesses and brain injuries, advocates for older individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, staffs of state and local agencies, clinicians and service providers, and legal academics. The Task Force benefited greatly from the knowledge, the experience, and the diversity of perspectives that individuals who served as members of the Task Force brought to its deliberations and the development of its recommendations. Judges Myron Gookin, Kathleen Kilnoski, Jeffrey Larson, Kellyann Lekar, and Stuart Werling, who served as Work Group chairs, are to be commended for their commitment to the work of the Task Force and the leadership they provided to the five Work Groups. Justice Bruce Zager, who served as Chair of the Task Force Steering Committee, likewise is to be commended for his commitment to the work of the Task Force and the leadership that he provided to the Task Force as a whole. Finally, we wish to acknowledge the contribution of the University of Iowa College of Law and the Drake University School of Law to the work of the Task Force. The support of these law schools made possible our participation in the Task Force. Additionally, and most importantly, the University of Iowa College of Law made funding available for the Task Force’s Iowa Guardianship and Conservatorship Summit and its Final Plenary Meeting.

  • State Supreme Court Upholds Dismissal of Water Suit
    STATE SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS DISMISSAL OF WATER SUIT AGAINST DNR BY RUSS PANKONIN THE IMPERIAL REPUBLICAN In an opinion released Friday, March 10, the Nebraska Supreme Court upheld the district court dismissal of two water suits brought against the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Water users in the Frenchman Cambridge Irrigation District (FCID) lost their appeal of the dismissal of the suits by Furnas County District Court Judge James E. Doyle IV in May 2016. The suits were filed by four water users in the FCID as a class action suit—one for 2013 and one for 2014. The complaints claimed the surface water users in the district were harmed when DNR issued closing notices on river flows for compact compliance purposes in 2013 and 2014. In their appeal, they contended their water rights were superior to those of the Republican River Basin Compact. They also added that DNR’s failure to regulate groundwater depleted available stream flow, which represented a “taking” of water. Compact counts as federal law Writing for the court, Chief Justice Michael Heavican said the surface water rights do not supersede the Compact. “We conclude that the appropriators’ rights to use the water are subject to the Compact and are thus not a compensable property interest when the right to use is limited to ensure Nebraska’s compliance under the Compact,” Heavican wrote. He continued, “The U.S. Supreme Court held that the Compact, having received Congress’s blessing, counts as federal law. “As federal law, the allocations set forth under the Compact are the supreme law in Nebraska and the DNR must ensure Nebraska remains within its allocation under the Compact.

    In the Iowa Supreme Court In the Matter of Lessons Learned ) From the Judicial Branch Response ) April 28, 2021 To COVID-19 ) Beginning in early March 2020, the judicial branch was preparing to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on the services it provides to Iowans. In the span of just a few weeks, the planning effort transitioned into the need for immediate actions. As the pandemic worsened and more information about the virus became available, the Iowa Supreme Court issued orders to protect the public and court employees while keeping the courts as open and operational as possible. Between March 12 and November 24, nearly thirty supervisory orders were issued. As the judicial branch begins to plan for a post COVID-19 world, it seeks to review the formal orders and informal policies or practices adopted by the branch in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The supreme court establishes the Lessons Learned Task Force to make recommendations to the supreme court on rules, polices or practices that should be retained, modified or stopped. The recommendations shall be submitted to the supreme court by June 4, 2021. The following individuals are appointed to the Task Force: Honorable Susan Christensen, Chief Justice, Iowa Supreme Court, Harlan, chair Honorable Kellyann Lekar, Chief Judge, First Judicial District, Waterloo Honorable David Porter, District Judge, Des Moines Honorable Russell Keast, District Associate Judge, Cedar Rapids Steve Bradford, corporate counsel, Muscatine 1 Carrington Buze, Children’s Justice, Des Moines Guy Cook, private

  • Justice Reinvestment in Nebraska Analysis and Policy Framework
    Justice Reinvestment in Nebraska Analysis and Policy Framework JANUARY 2015 Overview ebraska’s prisons are overcrowded—state corrections Nofficials report that these facilities are at 159 percent of their capacity.1 Many people sentenced to prison are double- bunked or sleeping on cots in common areas, and others are being housed in county jails. From FY2004 to FY2013, the prison population increased 19 percent.2 Corrections spending increased 20 percent during this period, from $131 million in FY2004 to $157 million in FY2013.3 Even though reported crime and arrests declined between 2004 and 2013, prison admissions increased and are now outpacing releases.4 If this growth continues unchecked, prisons will become even more crowded, swelling from 159 percent of capacity (5,221 people) as of December 31, 2014 to a projected 5 170 percent of capacity (5,581 people) by FY2020. AND POLICYANALYSIS FRAMEWORK In October 2014, the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) released a Master Plan proposal to add 1,100 prison beds at an estimated cost of $262 million, which would bring the prison population down to 128 percent of capacity by FY2019.6 But with construction neither scheduled nor funded, state leaders are seeking first to understand the root causes of Nebraska’s growing prison population and then evaluate whether simply building prisons will provide the best return on the state’s public safety investment. In 2014, Governor Dave Heineman, Chief Justice Michael Heavican, Speaker Greg Adams, and other state policymakers from both parties asked the Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center to use a data-driven “justice reinvestment” approach to help the state slow prison population growth, reduce corrections spending, and reinvest a portion of savings in strategies that can reduce recidivism and increase public safety.
