Legal Authority for Rulemaking
This rulemaking is proposed under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 15E.63(11) as amended by 2023 Iowa Acts, House File 688, section 18.
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rulemaking implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code chapter 15E.
Purpose and Summary
Pursuant to Part IV of Executive Order 10, the Department of Revenue was directed on November 21, 2023, to propose this Notice of Intended Action to rescind the remaining chapters for the Iowa Capital Investment Board. The Administrative Rules Coordinator provided preclearance for publication of this Notice of Intended Action on November 21, 2023.
After review of the Iowa Administrative Code pursuant to Iowa Code section 15E.63(11) as amended by 2023 Iowa Acts, House File 688, the Department determined that the rules for the Board can be rescinded in their entirety. Effective June 20, 2013, the Board and the Iowa Fund of Funds are governed by the program wind-up and future repeal provisions of Iowa Code section 15E.72. Chapters 1 and 4 relate to functions of the Board prior to the wind-down that are no longer applicable. Chapter 2 relates to a program administered by the Iowa Economic Development Authority that no longer involves the Board, making rules on its role no longer relevant. The Iowa Economic Development Authority has its own rules and statutes on the program in Iowa Code sections 15E.41 through 15E.46 and 261—Chapter 115. Chapter 3 describes a tax credit that was previously administered by the Board but that was repealed in 2010.
