Rule Making Docket

The Department's Administrative Rules Docket specifies all rule making actions in process by the Department.  It identifies each rule making action, and contains information regarding the nature of the action, relevant dates, and links to the text of each action.

The Rules Docket published here on the Web site of the Department of Public Safety is the official docket for the Department.  Executive Order Number Nine, signed by Governor Vilsack on September 14, 1999 requires each agency of the Executive Branch of Iowa government to maintain a rule making docket and to publish the docket on the agency's Web site.

Persons wishing to comment on any item on this docket may do so by contacting the Department by mail, phone (515-725-6185) or electronic mail.
