What’s in it

This bill provides that the employment appeal board has those powers and responsibilities assigned to it by Code chapter 20, the public employment relations Act.28 and administration of Code chapter 20, and provided that the employment appeal board has such duties. The bill conforms language relating to requirements for the form of petitions for judicial review of agency action under Code chapter 17A, the Iowa administrative procedure Act, to exemptions from the requirements provided under current law in Code chapter 10A, subchapter III, and Code chapter relating to the workers’ compensation commissioner and the employment appeal board.
