Iowa Admin. Code r. 441-3.14 - [Effective until 7/3/2024] Effectiveness of rules prior to publication
(1)
Grounds. The department may make a rule effective after its
filing at any stated time prior to 35 days after its indexing and publication
in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin if it finds that a statute so provides, the
rule confers a benefit or removes a restriction on some segment of the public,
or that the effective date of the rule is necessary to avoid imminent peril to
the public health, safety, or welfare. The department shall incorporate the
required finding and a brief statement of its supporting reasons in each rule
adopted in reliance upon this subrule.
(2)
Special notice. When the
department makes a rule effective prior to its indexing and publication in
reliance upon the provisions of Iowa Code section
17A.5(2)"b"(3), the department shall employ all reasonable
efforts to make its contents known to the persons who may be affected by that
rule prior to the rule's indexing and publication. The term "all reasonable
efforts" requires the department to employ the most effective and prompt means
of notice rationally calculated to inform potentially affected parties of the
effectiveness of the rule that is justified and practical under the
circumstances considering the various alternatives available for this purpose,
the comparative costs to the department of utilizing each of those
alternatives, and the harm suffered by affected persons from any lack of notice
concerning the contents of the rule prior to its indexing and publication. The
means that may be used for providing notice of such rules prior to their
indexing and publication include, but are not limited to, any one or more of
the following means: radio, newspaper, television, signs, mail, telephone,
personal notice, or electronic means.
A rule made effective prior to its indexing and publication in reliance upon the provisions of Iowa Code section 17A.5(2) "b"(3) shall include in that rule a statement describing the reasonable efforts that will be used to comply with the requirements of subrule 3.15(2).
