Executive Order 10 (EO10) requires all state agencies to identify which administrative rule chapters will be retained or rescinded. The Iowa Department of Education (Department) and its aligned state agencies have the following deadlines to complete their work under EO10:
- Iowa Department of Education - Dec. 31, 2023
- Iowa Board of Educational Examiners - Dec. 31, 2024.
- Iowa College Aid - Dec. 31, 2025.
- School Budget Review Committee - Dec. 31, 2026
EO10's process for reviewing existing rule chapters and determining which rules will be repealed or retained includes public engagement with the opportunity for meaningful input throughout the process.
Red Tape Reviews are the Department's analysis for rules chapters. Documents explain the analysis, including rules and restrictive terms that are eliminated and contains a proposed new rule chapter. Additional changes may be made to each proposed rule chapter as part of the Regulatory Analysis required by Executive Order 10, or as part of the rulemaking process.
