Iowa Code r. 351-1.2 - Requirements for requesting board advisory opinions
(1)
Who may request opinion.
Any person subject to the board's jurisdiction may request a board advisory
opinion, including a local official or local employee seeking an opinion on the
application of the ethics laws in Iowa Code chapter 68B. A governmental entity
not under the board's jurisdiction may request a board advisory opinion on an
issue subject to the board's jurisdiction. A person requesting an opinion on
the application of the ethics and lobbying laws in Iowa Code chapter 68B as
applied to the legislative branch of state government shall be referred to the
senate and house ethics committees. An authorized agent may seek an opinion on
behalf of any person. The board will not issue an opinion to an unauthorized
third party. The board may on its own motion issue opinions without receiving a
formal request.
(2)
Form of
request. The request for an opinion shall be in writing and shall
describe the specific transaction, conduct, or activity that the requesting
person plans to undertake or is presently undertaking. Requests shall be sent
to the board as provided in subrule 1.3(1).
(3)
Jurisdiction. The board
will issue opinions pertaining only to Iowa Code chapter 68A, Iowa Code chapter
68B, Iowa Code section
8.7, or rules adopted
thereunder.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 68B.32A(12).
