Iowa Code Title VI. Human Services [Chs. 216-255A] § 222.91. Direct referral to special unit

In addition to any other manner of referral or admission to the special unit provided for by this chapter, persons may be referred directly to the special unit by courts, law enforcement agencies, or state penal or correctional institutions for services under section 222.88, subsection 2, but persons so referred shall not be admitted unless a preadmission diagnostic evaluation indicates that the person would benefit from such services, and the admission of the person to the special unit would not cause the special unit's patient load to exceed its capacity.
