TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT[761]
Notice of Intended Action
Proposing rulemaking related to rescission of chapters
and providing an opportunity for public comment
The Transportation Department hereby proposes to rescind Chapter 1, “Organization of the Department of Transportation,” and Chapter 2, “Provisions Applicable to All Rules,” Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rulemaking
This rulemaking is proposed under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 307.12(1)“j.”
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rulemaking implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code chapter 307.
Purpose and Summary
Chapter 1 describes the organization of the Department as required by Iowa Code section 17A.3(1)“a.” This proposed rulemaking rescinds Chapter 1 because 2024 Iowa Acts, Senate File 2370, section 4, strikes Iowa Code section 17A.3(1)“a.” The Department’s website, www.iowadot.gov, provides the public with this information.
Chapter 2 defines “commission,” “department,” and “director” or “director of transportation.” This proposed rulemaking rescinds Chapter 2 because these definitions are included in the Department’s chapters, as needed. A separate chapter is not necessary.
Fiscal Impact
This rulemaking has no fiscal impact to the State of Iowa.
Jobs Impact
