- Do not enter into the department's records any health care provider, hospital, clinic or other health facility identification information from a report of termination, and destroy the report immediately after entering the information (Iowa Code 144.29A(2)(b)).

What record it asks for
Logging duty
Section 144.29A(2) limits release of termination of pregnancy information to an aggregate form and requires destruction of each report after its information is entered. A destruction duty limits the data and is not a record of processing, and the section names no log, so the row takes no logging duty.
