Twenty-five interested persons, a governmental subdivision, an agency or association of 25 or more persons may demand an oral presentation hereon as provided in Iowa Code section 17A.4(1)“b.”
Notice is also given to the public that the Administrative Rules Review Committee may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this proposed action under section 17A.8(6) at a regular or special meeting where the public or interested persons may be heard.
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code sections 231.14, 231.23 and 17A.3, the Department on Aging hereby gives Notice of Intended Action to rescind Chapter 9, “Resident Advocate Committees,” Iowa Administrative Code.

The role of the resident advocate committees has been replaced by the certified volunteer long-term care ombudsman program as codified in Iowa Code section 231.45.
Any interested person may make written suggestions or comments on this proposed amendment on or before May 6, 2014. Such written comments or suggestions should be directed to Kimberly Murphy, Iowa Department on Aging, Jessie M. Parker Building, 510 E. 12th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50319.
