INSURANCE DIVISION[191]
Notice of Intended Action
Proposing rule making related to licensing sanctions regarding student loan debt or related service obligations and providing an opportunity for public comment
The Insurance Division hereby proposes to amend Chapter 50, “Regulation of Securities Offerings and Those Who Engage in the Securities Business,” Chapter 55, “Licensing of Public Adjusters,” and Chapter 100, “Sales of Cemetery Merchandise, Funeral Merchandise and Funeral Services,” Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rule Making
This rule making is proposed under the authority provided in Iowa Code chapter 523A and 2019 Iowa Acts, Senate File 304.
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rule making implements, in whole or in part, 2019 Iowa Acts, Senate File 304.
Purpose and Summary
During the 2019 Legislative Session, a change was made to the Iowa Code which resulted in the repeal of Iowa Code sections 261.121 through 261.127, effective July 1, 2019. These Iowa Code sections had required the Division to take action against a person to whom it issues a license who is in default or is delinquent on repayment or a service obligation under federal or state postsecondary educational loans or private services-conditional postsecondary tuition assistance solely on the basis of such default or delinquency. This proposed rule making implements this change by rescinding Division rules that implemented Iowa Code sections 261.121 through 261.127.
Fiscal Impact
This rule making has no fiscal impact to the State of Iowa.
Jobs Impact
After analysis and review of this rule making, no impact on jobs has been found.
Waivers
The Division’s general waiver provisions of 191—Chapter 4 apply to these rules.
