In compliance with Iowa Code section 17A.4(2), the Board finds that notice and public participation are unnecessary because these amendments are simultaneously being proposed under Notice of Intended Action to allow for public comment.
The Board also finds, pursuant to Iowa Code section 17A.5(2)“b”(2), that the normal effective date of the amendments should be waived and these amendments should be made effective upon filing with the Administrative Rules Coordinator on July 29, 2005, as they will meet Iowa Code section 272.10, unnumbered paragraph 1: “It is the intent of the general assembly that licensing fees established by the board of educational examiners be sufficient to finance the activities of the board under this chapter.”
The Board of Educational Examiners adopted these amendments on July 29, 2005.
These amendments are also published herein under Notice of Intended Action as ARC 4440B to allow public comment.
These amendments are intended to implement Iowa Code chapter 272.
These amendments became effective on July 29, 2005.
