Administrative Rules
Iowa Code §17A.7 (2) states the following: Beginning July 1, 2012, over each five-year period of time, an agency shall conduct an ongoing and comprehensive review of all of the agency’s rules. The goal of the review is the identification and elimination of all rules of the agency that are outdated, redundant, inconsistent, or incompatible with statute or its own rules or those of other agencies. An agency shall commence its review by developing a plan of review in consultation with major stakeholders and constituent groups. When the agency completes the five-year review of the agency’s own rules, the agency shall provide a summary of the results to the administrative rules coordinator and the administrative rules review committee.
Effective July 1, 2010, Iowa Code §229.22, as amended by SF 2352, requires notification of a specified law enforcement agency prior to discharge of a patient brought to a hospital or facility for emergency mental health treatment by a law enforcement agency for whom an arrest warrant has been issued or charges are pending. The new law provides that DPS must develop a form for law enforcement to use when requesting notification.
Rules for which a petition for a waiver have been granted or denied:
Iowa Code §401.113(11) Summary reports. When the department grants a waiver, the department shall submit the required information on the department’s website within sixty (60) days.

To the extent practicable, the department shall include information detailing the extent to which the granting of a waiver has established a precedent for additional waivers and the extent to which the granting of a waiver has affected the general applicability of the rule itself.
