Adopted and Filed
Rule making related to rescinding the sunset date for
the targeted jobs withholding tax credit program

Legal Authority for Rule Making
This rule making is adopted under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 15.106A.

Purpose and Summary
This adopted amendment rescinds the sunset date for the Targeted Jobs Withholding Tax Credit Program. This sunset date is also found in Iowa Code section 403.19A(3)“c”(2).
