Iowa HF718 establishes processes for delay, rescission, and approval of certain administrative rules based on fiscal impact.

Iowa HF718 applies to rules adopted by agencies on or after July 1, 2026. The bill mandates that rules necessitating additional annual expenditures of at least $1 million, or combined expenditures of at least $5 million within five years, be delayed until the adjournment of the next regular session of the general assembly. During the delay, agencies can engage in further rulemaking to amend or repeal the delayed rule. If not approved by the general assembly before the delay ends, the rule is rescinded and removed from the Iowa administrative code.
