Rulemaking related to adoption of uniform and model rules
The Professional Licensure Division hereby rescinds Chapter 16, “Impaired Practitioner Review Committee,” and adopts Chapter 34, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 46, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 66, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 84, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 106, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 125, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 135, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 145, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 184, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 210, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 226, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 245, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 266, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 284, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 305, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 330, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Chapter 354, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” and Chapter 364, “Adoption of Uniform and Model Rules,” Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rulemaking
This rulemaking is adopted under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 272C.3 and Executive Order 10.
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rulemaking implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code chapter 272C.
Purpose and Summary
The purpose of this rulemaking is to adopt by reference uniform and model rules. By adopting by reference, the boards are utilizing existing chapters instead of creating multiple duplicative chapters within the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing. This helps streamline processes and build uniformity across the division.
Public Comment and Changes to Rulemaking
Notice of Intended Action for this rulemaking was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin on January 24, 2024, as ARC 7296C. A public hearing was held on the following date(s):
●February 13, 2024
●February 14, 2024
No one attended the public hearings. No public comments were received.
Changes have been made from the Notice. The Department rescinded 641—Chapter 193, “Impaired Practitioner Review Committee,” and promulgated 641—Chapter 193, “Model Rules for Licensee Review Committee,” effective May 8, 2024 (ARC 7753C). The promulgation of 641—Chapter 193 took a licensee review committee chapter applicable to a single board and promulgated it as a model chapter that can be adopted by any board under the administrative authority of the Department. The Department then editorially renumbered 641—Chapter 193 by transferring the model chapter to 481—Chapter 505.
645—Chapter 16 is substantively akin to 641—Chapter 193 prior to its rescission and readoption and renumbering as a model chapter at 481—Chapter 505.
In accordance with the goals of Executive Order 10, including reduction of unnecessary duplication in the Iowa Administrative Code, the boards set forth below adopted the model chapter by reference in place of 645—Chapter 16.

Fiscal Impact

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.
Review by Administrative Rules Review Committee
The Administrative Rules Review Committee, a bipartisan legislative committee which oversees rulemaking by executive branch agencies, may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this rulemaking at its regular monthly meeting or at a special meeting.
