Welcome to the State of Iowa’s Administrative Rules Website. Public participation in the formulation of administrative rules helps our state to reform burdensome rules and prevent overregulation or red tape, encouraging efficiency, economic growth and job creation.

The purpose of this website is to allow members of the public the opportunity to comment on administrative rules in the Notice process. Members of the public have 20 days to comment on a rule from the date of publication. You may comment on all administrative rules open for comment on this website.
