Iowa Admin. Code r. 189-23.1

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 10, November 13, 2024
Rule 189-23.1 - Scope of chapter

This chapter outlines a uniform process for the granting of waivers from rules adopted by the board or the superintendent in situations where no other more specifically applicable law provides for waivers. The intent of this chapter is to allow persons to seek exceptions to the application of rules issued by the board or the superintendent. This chapter shall not apply to rules that merely define the meaning of a statute or other provision of law or precedent if the division does not possess delegated authority to bind the courts to any extent with its definition. To the extent another more specific provision of law governs the issuance of a waiver from a particular rule, the more specific provision shall supersede this chapter with respect to any waiver from that rule.

(1)Definitions.

"Board" means the credit union review board created by Iowa Code section 533.107.

"Superintendent" means the superintendent of credit unions appointed by the governor to direct and regulate credit unions pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 533.

"Waiver" means an agency action which suspends in whole or in part the requirements or provisions of a rule as applied to an identified person on the basis of the particular circumstances of that person.

(2)Applicability.
a. The superintendent may grant a waiver from a rule adopted by the board or superintendent only if (1) the board or superintendent has jurisdiction over the rule; (2) no statute or rule otherwise controls the granting of a waiver from the rule from which waiver is requested; and (3) the requested waiver is consistent with applicable statutes, constitutional provisions, or other provisions of law.
b. No waiver may be granted from a requirement which is imposed by statute.
