House Journal: Page 1572: Monday, April 17, 2000
Executive Order number 11 also constitutes a valid exercise of gubernatorial
authority. Iowa law permits state agencies to waive their enforcement of agency rules
in compliance with state and federal law. A number of state agencies currently issue
waivers under certain circumstances. As the supreme executive magistrate for the
state, the holder of this office possesses the legal authority to direct executive branch
agencies to adopt a common waiver provision. By signing Senate File 2274 into law, I
would disrupt the balance between our two branches of government by relinquishing
authority vested within the executive branch.
The executive orders send a clear message that all persons within the executive
branch of state government will be afforded an equal opportunity in employment. They
also ensure that individuals and businesses will benefit from an efficient, economical,
and responsive state government.
For the above reasons, I hereby respectfully disapprove of Senate File 2274.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Vilsack
Governor
