Iowa Admin. Code r. 111-1.8
Staff shall not, on a significant regular basis, perform work for private associations or organizations (including organizations of or for the blind) during working hours or with use of department facilities unless arrangements have been formalized through a 28E agreement approved by the commission. Significant organizational activities prohibited in the absence of a formal 28E agreement include, but are not limited to: electioneering for organizational office, processing memberships, collecting dues, arranging for meetings and conventions, fund-raising, canvassing, leafleting, picketing, preparing organizational mailings, and other activities of a purely organizational nature which are unrelated to official staff duties.
However, the department encourages staff to maintain frequent contact with blind individuals and organizations of the blind as well as civic, social, fraternal, and professional groups interested in working with blind individuals.
This rule is not intended to discourage telephone conversations and correspondence with individuals or attendance (with supervisory approval) at meetings of blind or related associations or organizations.
