EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with

the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This joint resolution nullifies amendments to 491 Iowa administrative code, rule 4.10, relating to the appeal of administrative actions, adopted by the racing and gaming commission. Generally, under the licensing provisions of the commission, track stewards have the authority to discipline, for violation of the rules, any person subject to their control and to impose fines or suspensions or both for infractions. The amendments to rule 4.10 provide that the standard of review for appeals from such decisions is “abuse of discretion”.
   The administrative rules review committee placed a session delay on this rulemaking at its June 11, 2013, meeting.
   The joint resolution takes effect upon enactment.
