INSPECTIONS AND APPEALS DEPARTMENT[481]
Adopted and Filed
Rule making related to targeted small business certification duties
and technical changes
The Department of Inspections and Appeals hereby amends Chapter 1, "Administration," rescinds Chapter 25, "Iowa Targeted Small Business Certification Program," and amends Chapter 30, "Food and Consumer Safety," Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rule Making
This rule making is adopted under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 10A.104(5).
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rule making implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code sections 10A.104(5) and 22.11 and 2017 Iowa Acts, chapter 160 (House File 621).
Purpose and Summary
This rule making implements changes made in 2017 Iowa Acts, chapter 160 (House File 621), which transfers responsibility for the certification of targeted small businesses from the Department of Inspections and Appeals to the Iowa Economic Development Authority. The Iowa Economic Development Authority's administrative rules, which can be found in 261—Chapter 52, are related to the certification of targeted small businesses and became effective February 21, 2018. As a result, Chapter 25 of the Department's rules is being rescinded. This rule making also eliminates other references to the targeted small business certification program found in Chapters 1 and 30.
Additionally, two other technical changes are contained in this rule making. A reference to home food establishments is changed to home bakeries, which is consistent with changes made by the Iowa General Assembly in 2016, and an outdated reference to the inspection of egg handlers is removed as this function was transferred to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship by the Iowa General Assembly during the 2011 session.
