76 12	Sec. 135.	Section 17A.1, subsection 2, Code 2007, is
76 13 amended to read as follows:
76 14	2.	This chapter is intended to provide a minimum
76 15 procedural code for the operation of all state agencies when
76 16 they take action affecting the rights and duties of the
76 17 public.	Nothing in this chapter is meant to discourage
76 18 agencies from adopting procedures providing greater
76 19 protections to the public or conferring additional rights upon
76 20 the public; and save for express provisions of this chapter to
76 21 the contrary, nothing in this chapter is meant to abrogate in
76 22 whole or in part any statute prescribing procedural duties for
76 23 an agency which are greater than or in addition to those
76 24 provided here.	This chapter is meant to apply to all
76 25 rulemaking and contested case proceedings and all suits for
76 26 the judicial review of agency action that are not specifically
76 27 excluded from this chapter or some portion thereof by its
76 28 express terms or by the express terms of another chapter.
76 29	3.	The purposes of this chapter are:	To provide
76 30 legislative oversight of powers and duties delegated to
76 31 administrative agencies; to increase public accountability of
76 32 administrative agencies; to simplify government by assuring a
76 33 uniform minimum procedure to which all agencies will be held
76 34 in the conduct of their most important functions; to increase
35 public access to governmental information; to increase public
1 participation in the formulation of administrative rules; to
77	2 increase the fairness of agencies in their conduct of
77	3 contested case proceedings; and to simplify the process of
77	4 judicial review of agency action as well as increase its ease
77	5 and availability.

77	6	4.	In accomplishing its objectives, the intention of this
77	7 chapter is to strike a fair balance between these purposes and
77	8 the need for efficient, economical and effective government
77	9 administration.	The chapter is not meant to alter the
77 10 substantive rights of any person or agency.	Its impact is
77 11 limited to procedural rights with the expectation that better
77 12 substantive results will be achieved in the everyday conduct
77 13 of state government by improving the process by which those
77 14 results are attained.
77 15	Sec. 136.	Section 17A.7, subsection 2, Code 2007, is
77 16 amended to read as follows:

77 20 formal review of a specified rule of that agency to determine
77 21 whether the rule should be repealed or amended or a new rule
77 22 adopted instead.	The administrative rules coordinator shall
77 23 determine whether the request is reasonable and does not place
77 24 an unreasonable burden upon the agency.
77 25	b.	If the agency has not conducted such a review of the
77 26 specified rule within a period of five years prior to the
77 27 filing of the written request, and upon a determination by the
77 28 administrative rules coordinator that the request is
77 29 reasonable and does not place an unreasonable burden upon the
77 30 agency, the agency shall prepare within a reasonable time a
77 31 written report with respect to the rule summarizing the
77 32 agency's findings, its supporting reasons, and any proposed
77 33 course of action.	The report must include, for the specified
77 34 rule, a concise statement of all of the following:
35	a.	(1)	The rule's effectiveness in achieving its
1 objectives, including a summary of any available data
78	2 supporting the conclusions reached.
78	3	b.	(2)	Written criticisms of the rule received during the
78	4 previous five years, including a summary of any petitions for
78	5 waiver of the rule tendered to the agency or granted by the
78	6 agency.
78	7	c.	(3)	Alternative solutions regarding the subject matter
78	8 of the criticisms and the reasons they were rejected or the
78	9 changes made in the rule in response to those criticisms and
78 10 the reasons for the changes.
78 11	c.	A copy of the report shall be sent to the
78 12 administrative rules review committee and the administrative
78 13 rules coordinator and shall be made available for public
78 14 inspection.

78 23 vocational or employment training program, the state resource

78 25 training program offered by a community=based provider who
78 26 serves the county in which the state resource center is based
78 27 or the counties contiguous to the county, provided that the
78 28 resident will not be required to travel for more than thirty
78 29 minutes one way to obtain services.

1 off=campus community=based vocational or employment training
79	2 option for each resident placed in an on=campus program.
79	3	(iii)	The state resource center shall not place a resident
79	4 in an off=campus program in which the cost to the state
79	5 resource center would be in excess of the provider's actual
79	6 cost as determined by purchase of service rules or if the
79	7 service would not be reimbursed under the medical assistance
79	8 program.

100 18 office is corrected or completed pursuant to subsections 5 and
100 19 6, if necessary, any bond posted under this subsection shall
100 20 be returned to the candidate who requested the recount if the
100 21 apparent winner before the recount is not the winner as shown
100 22 by the corrected or completed canvass.	In all other cases,

101 21 in the request or by the recount board.	The board shall
101 22 recount only the ballots which were voted and counted for the
101 23 office in question, including any disputed ballots returned as
101 24 required in section 50.5.	If an electronic tabulating system
101 25 was used to count the ballots, the recount board may request
101 26 the commissioner to retabulate the ballots using the

101 31 section 52.7, subsection 2, shall be the official record used
101 32 in the recount.	However, if the commissioner believes or
101 33 knows that the paper records produced from a machine have been
101 34 compromised due to damage, mischief, malfunction, or other
35 cause, the printed ballot images produced from the internal
1 audit log for that machine shall be the official record used
102	2 in the recount.

132	23	refuses or neglects to pay the same, the amount, including any	
132	24	interest, together with the costs that may accrue in addition	

22	b.	In the administration of the provisions of section

25 thereto, shall be a lien in favor of the state upon all
132 26 property and rights to property, whether real or personal,
132 27 belonging to said employer.	An assessment of the unpaid
132 28 contributions, interest and penalty shall be applied as
132 29 provided in section 96.7, subsection 3, paragraphs "a" and
132 30 "b", and the lien shall attach as of the date the assessment
132 31 is mailed or personally served upon the employer and shall
132 32 continue for ten years, or until the liability for the amount
132 33 is satisfied, unless sooner released or otherwise discharged.
132 34 The lien may, within ten years from the date the lien
35 attaches, be extended for up to an additional ten years by
1 filing a notice during the ninth year with the appropriate
133	2 county official of any county.	However, the department may
133	3 release any lien, when after diligent investigation and effort
133	4 it determines that the amount due is not collectible.
133	5	b.	In order to preserve the aforesaid lien against
133	6 subsequent mortgagees, purchasers or judgment creditors, for
133	7 value and without notice of the lien, on any property situated
133	8 in a county, the department shall file with the recorder of
133	9 the county, in which said property is located, a notice of
133 10 said lien.
133 11	c.	The county recorder of each county shall prepare and
133 12 keep in the recorder's office an index to show the following
133 13 data, under the names of employers, arranged alphabetically:
133 14	a.	(1)	The name of the employer.
133 15	b.	(2)	The name "State of Iowa" as claimant.
133 16	c.	(3)	Time notice of lien was received.
133 17	d.	(4)	Date of notice.
133 18	e.	(5)	Amount of lien then due.
133 19	f.	(6)	When satisfied.
133 20	d.	The recorder shall endorse on each notice of lien the
133 21 day, hour, and minute when received and shall index the notice
133 22 in the index and shall record the lien in the manner provided
133 23 for recording real estate mortgages, and the lien shall be
133 24 effective from the time of the indexing of the lien.
133 25	e.	The department shall pay a recording fee as provided in
133 26 section 331.604, for the recording of the lien, or for its
133 27 satisfaction.
133 28	f.	Upon the payment of contributions as to which the
133 29 department has filed notice with a county recorder, the
133 30 department shall forthwith file with said recorder a
133 31 satisfaction of said contributions and the recorder shall
133 32 enter said satisfaction on the notice on file in the
133 33 recorder's office and indicate said fact on the index
133 34 aforesaid.
35	g.	The department shall, substantially as provided in this
1 chapter and chapter 626, proceed to collect all contributions
134	2 as soon as practicable after they become delinquent, except
134	3 that no property of the employer is exempt from payment of the
134	4 contributions.
134	5	h.	If, after due notice, any employer defaults in any
134	6 payment of contributions or interest thereon, the amount due
134	7 may be collected by civil action in the name of the department
134	8 and the employer adjudged in default shall pay the costs of
134	9 such action.	Civil actions brought under this section to
134 10 collect contributions or interest thereon from an employer
134 11 shall be heard by the court at the earliest possible date and
134 12 shall be entitled to preference upon the calendar of the court
134 13 over all other civil actions except petitions for judicial
134 14 review under this chapter and cases arising under the workers'
134 15 compensation law of this state.
134 16	i.	It is expressly provided that the foregoing remedies of
134 17 the state shall be cumulative and that no action taken by the
134 18 department shall be construed to be an election on the part of
134 19 the state or any of its officers to pursue any remedy
134 20 hereunder to the exclusion of any other remedy provided by
134 21 law.
134 22	j.	The courts of this state shall recognize and enforce
134 23 liabilities for unemployment contributions, penalties,
134 24 interest, and benefit overpayments imposed by other states
134 25 which extend a like comity to this state.	The department may
134 26 sue in the courts of any other jurisdiction which extends such
134 27 comity to collect unemployment contributions, penalties,
134 28 interest, and benefit overpayments due this state.	The
134 29 officials of other states which, by statute or otherwise,
134 30 extend a like comity to this state may sue in the district
134 31 court to collect for such contributions, penalties, interest,
134 32 and benefit overpayments.	In any such case the director, as
134 33 agent for and on behalf of any other state, may institute and
134 34 conduct such suit for such other state.	Venue of such
35 proceedings shall be the same as for actions to collect

1 delinquent contributions, penalties, interest, and benefit
135	2 overpayments due under this chapter.	A certificate by the
135	3 secretary of any such state attesting the authority of such
135	4 official to collect the contributions, penalties, interest,
135	5 and benefit overpayments, is conclusive evidence of such
135	6 authority.	The requesting state shall pay the court costs.
135	7	k.	If a political subdivision or a political subdivision
135	8 instrumentality becomes delinquent in the payment of
135	9 contributions, any payments owed as a government employer,
135 10 penalty, interest and costs for more than two calendar
135 11 quarters, the amount of such delinquency shall be deducted
135 12 from any further moneys due the employer by the state.	Such
135 13 deduction shall be made by the director of the department of
135 14 administrative services upon certification of the amount due.
135 15 A copy of the certification will be mailed to the employer.
135 16	l.	If an amount due from a governmental entity of this
135 17 state remains due and unpaid for a period of one hundred
135 18 twenty days after the due date, the director shall take action
135 19 as necessary to collect the amount and shall levy against any
135 20 funds due the governmental entity from the state treasurer,
135 21 director of the department of administrative services, or any
135 22 other official or agency of this state, or against an account
135 23 established by the entity in any bank.	The official, agency,
135 24 or bank shall deduct the amount certified by the director from
135 25 any accounts or deposits or any funds due the delinquent
135 26 governmental entity without regard to any prior claim and
135 27 shall promptly forward the amount to the director for the
135 28 fund.	However, the director shall notify the delinquent
135 29 entity of the director's intent to file a levy by certified
135 30 mail at least ten days prior to filing the levy on any funds
135 31 due the entity from any state official or agency.
