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

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

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 761—Chapter 11.
