INSPECTIONS AND APPEALS DEPARTMENT[481]

Notice of Intended Action

Twenty-five interested persons, a governmental subdivision, an agency or association of 25 or more persons may demand an oral presentation hereon as provided in Iowa Code section 17A.4(1)"b."

Notice is also given to the public that the Administrative Rules Review Committee may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this proposed action under section 17A.8(6) at a regular or special meeting where the public or interested persons may be heard.

Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 10A.104(5), the Department of Inspections and Appeals hereby gives Notice of Intended Action to rescind Chapter 9, "Indigent Defense Claims Processing," Iowa Administrative Code.

This chapter is unnecessary and redundant because the administrative rules adopted by the State Public Defender pursuant to the authority provided under Iowa Code section 13B.4 supersede the Department's existing administrative rules in Chapter 9. The State Public Defender's rules are contained in 493—Chapter 12, "Claims for Indigent Defense Services," 493—Chapter 13, "Claims for Other Professional Services," and 493—Chapter 14, "Claims for Attorney Fees in 600A Terminations," and set forth detailed procedures related to indigent defense claims processing.

The Department does not believe that the proposed amendment imposes any financial hardship on any regulated entity, body, or individual.

Any interested person may make written suggestions or comments on the proposed amendment on or before December 2, 2014. Such written materials should be addressed to the Director, Department of Inspections and Appeals, Lucas State Office Building, 321 East 12th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50319-0083; faxed to (515)242-6863; or e-mailed to david.werning@dia.iowa.gov.

After analysis and review of this rule making, no impact on jobs has been found.

This amendment is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 10A.104 and 13B.4.

The following amendment is proposed.

Rescind and reserve 481—Chapter 9.
