Iowa Ct. R. 13.30
Chemotherapy procedure
When chemotherapy has been instituted prior to a
hearing under Iowa Code section 125.82, the attending physician 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. The report shall identify all types of
chemotherapy given and shall specify which were administered to affect the respondent’s
behavior or mental state during any period of custody authorized by Iowa Code section 125.81
or 125.91. For each type of chemotherapy the report shall indicate that the chemotherapy was
given with the consent of the respondent or the respondent’s next of kin or guardian or, if not,
that the chemotherapy was necessary to preserve the respondent’s life or to appropriately control
respondent’s behavior in order to avoid physical injury to the respondent or others. 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.
