This bill mandates that the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) conduct postadoption interviews with both the adoptive parent and the adopted person. These interviews are to take place at least 18 months but no later than 36 months following the issuance of the final adoption decree. The interviews must include a face-to-face meeting with the adoptive parent, a separate face-to-face meeting with the adopted person, an assessment of the adopted person's living conditions, and any additional interviews deemed necessary by HHS to evaluate the well-being of the adopted individual.

The bill specifically applies to adoptions finalized on or after its effective date, ensuring that the new requirements are implemented for future cases. The department is also tasked with adopting rules to facilitate the execution of these provisions, thereby establishing a structured approach to postadoption assessments in Iowa.
