<[Text subject to final changes by the Iowa Code Editor for Code 2024.]>

1. Unless an action is initiated under section 252H.14A, prior to conducting a review of a support order, child support services shall issue a notice of intent to review and adjust to each parent, or if applicable, to each parent's attorney. However, notice to a child support agency or an agency entitled to receive child or medical support payments as the result of an assignment of support rights is not required.

a. The legal basis and purpose of the action.
