What’s in it

This bill establishes a wage and hour division in the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing. The division is responsible for the administration of the laws of Iowa under Code chapters 91A (wage payment collection), 91D (minimum wage), and (child labor), and such other duties assigned to the division or director of the department. The bill requires the division to investigate reported violations of the laws it administers and engage in statutorily authorized enforcement activities against violators of such laws. The bill requires the division to prioritize such investigation and enforcement over referral of complaints to the federal department of labor or reliance on the federal department of labor to enforce federal laws governing similar subjects.
