This bill amends the definition of a peer review committee in Iowa law by adding a new category that includes statewide nonprofit organizations that are classified as organ procurement organizations, as defined in section 142C.1. This change aims to recognize the role of these organizations within the peer review process, thereby enhancing the oversight and evaluation of organ procurement practices.

The addition of this new paragraph to Section 147.1, subsection 5, reflects a legislative intent to integrate organ procurement organizations into the framework of peer review committees, which are essential for maintaining standards and accountability in medical practices. The bill does not include any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the expansion of the definition to encompass these specific organizations.
