The Iowa Administrative Procedure Act,
Chapter 17A of the Code of Iowa, provides for the promulgation of administrative
rules by state agencies. Administrative rules amplify, clarify, and implement
statutory language found in the Code of Iowa. Administrative rules carry
the force of law, and are codified in the Iowa Administrative Code.
The Iowa Administrative Code is organized
by issuing agency and each agency has an identifying number to uniquely
label its rules. The Iowa Department of Public Safety's identifying number
is 661. Consequently, Chapter 121 of the Department's administrative rules
can be cited as "661 IAC Chapter 122."
Current, Recent, and Anticipated
Rulemaking
The Department's annual Regulatory
Plan, outlining rulemaking initiatives anticipated during State Fiscal
Year 2010 (July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010) was recently completed
and filed.
