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rules to clarify how agency procedures are published and rescinds numerous existing administrative rules that have been replaced by uniform rules on agency procedure. The legislation removes specific chapters and sections from the Iowa Administrative Code effective July 1, 2026, while keeping those rules in effect for any legal proceedings that began before that date. It also establishes new guidelines for agencies to adopt emergency rules without requiring a regulatory analysis, provided the rules address legal obligations or are deemed necessary by the agency. These changes aim to streamline administrative procedures and reduce redundancy in state regulations.
