What’s in it
This bill directs each executive branch agency, in consultation with the administrative rules coordinator, to submit a report to the general assembly no later than January each year commencing in 2020 designating no less than percent of the rules adopted by the agency and in effect as of January of that year for review by the general assembly. Designated rules shall not include rules that have been subject to review pursuant to the bill in the previous nine years. The general assembly shall publish such reports on the general assembly’s internet site.
Read the full explanation
The bill directs the president of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives to refer reports submitted pursuant to the bill to the appropriate standing committees of the general assembly for review. The bill authorizes a standing committee to sponsor a joint resolution pursuant to Article III, section of the Iowa Constitution to nullify one or more rules designated in a report reviewed by the committee. The bill prohibits an agency from adopting a rule that is in the same or a substantially similar form as a designated rule that is nullified in the year in which it was designated or in a subsequent year to which review is deferred unless the rule is specifically authorized by law. The bill authorizes the general assembly to defer review of a designated rule until the next regular session of the general assembly by joint resolution. Such a resolution may include more than one designated rule and designated rules from more than one agency. The general assembly may defer review of a designated rule multiple times. The bill directs the legislative services agency to provide agencies with information regarding the Iowa administrative code as necessary to facilitate the drafting of reports pursuant to the bill. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
