A bill for an act concerning administrative rules relating to the uniform rules on agency procedure and including effective date provisions.

This bill updates Iowa's administrative rules by removing outdated regulations that overlap with new uniform rules on agency procedure, which take effect on July 1, 2026. It affects multiple state agencies by rescinding specific administrative codes related to rulemaking, petitions, and other procedural matters, while ensuring those rules remain valid for cases already in progress before the deadline. The legislation also allows agencies to create emergency rules for immediate compliance with legal obligations or urgent needs, provided they explain their reasoning and publish the rules within a set timeframe. These changes streamline how state agencies handle administrative procedures while maintaining continuity for ongoing legal proceedings.
