Iowa Ct. R. 12.30
Chemotherapy procedure
When chemotherapy has been instituted prior to a
hearing under Iowa Code section 229.12, the chief medical officer of the facility where the
respondent is hospitalized shall, prior to the hearing, submit to the clerk of the district court
where the hearing is to be held, a report in writing listing all types of chemotherapy given for
purposes of affecting the respondent’s behavior or mental state during any period of custody
authorized by Iowa Code section 229.4(3), 229.11 or 229.22. For each type of chemotherapy
the report shall indicate either the chemotherapy was given with the consent of the patient or
the patient’s next of kin or guardian or the way the chemotherapy was “necessary to preserve
the patient’s life or to appropriately control behavior by the person which is likely to result in
physical injury to that person or others if allowed to continue.” The report shall also include
the effect of the chemotherapy on the respondent’s behavior or mental state. The clerk shall file
the original report in the court file, advise the judge or referee and the respondent’s attorney
accordingly and provide a copy of the report to respondent’s attorney if so requested.
