Rulemaking related to agency procedure for rulemaking

The Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing hereby rescinds Chapter 7, “Agency Procedure for Rule Making,” Iowa Administrative Code.

Legal Authority for Rulemaking

This rulemaking is adopted under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 17A.3 and Executive Order 10 (January 10, 2023).

State or Federal Law Implemented

This rulemaking implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code chapter 17A.

Purpose and Summary

This rulemaking eliminates unnecessary and unreasonably duplicative language and rules in the Iowa Administrative Code. The boards’ realignment with the Department as a result of 2023 Iowa Acts, Senate File 514, allows the boards to rely on 481—Chapter 4, which is substantively analogous to the current 645—Chapter 7. The rulemaking aligns with Executive Order 10’s goal of reducing and simplifying the Iowa Administrative Code to make it easier for Iowans to enter the workforce.

Notice of Intended Action for this rulemaking was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin on January 24, 2024, as ARC 7300C. A public hearing was held on the following date(s):

Fiscal Impact

This rulemaking has no fiscal impact to the State of Iowa. Staff salaries to support the work of the boards are covered by the Licensing and Regulation Fund established in 2023 Iowa Acts, Senate File 557. Licensing fees go to the Fund to cover operations of the regulated professional licensing boards.

Jobs Impact

After analysis and review of this rulemaking, there will be a positive impact on jobs in Iowa since the rulemaking reduces the regulatory burdens on Iowans and allows Iowans to more freely engage in individual and business pursuits.

Waivers

Any person who believes that the application of the discretionary provisions of this rulemaking would result in hardship or injustice to that person may petition the Department for a waiver of the discretionary provisions, if any, pursuant to 481—Chapter 6.
