      STYLE AND FORM OF RULES.
         1.  The governor shall establish the office of the administrative
      rules coordinator, and appoint its staff, which shall be a part of
      the governor's office.  The administrative rules coordinator shall
      receive all notices and rules adopted pursuant to chapter 17A and
      provide the governor with an opportunity to review and object to any
      rule as provided in chapter 17A.
         2.  In consultation with the administrative rules coordinator, the
      administrative code editor shall prescribe a uniform style and form
      by which an agency shall prepare and file a rule pursuant to chapter
      17A, which shall correlate each rule to a uniform numbering system
      devised by the administrative code editor and which shall provide for
      electronic filing and publication of the rules from the database used
      to produce the official publications of the administrative rules of
      this state.  The administrative code editor shall review all
      submitted rules for style and form and notify the administrative
      rules coordinator if a rule is not in proper style or form as
      provided in section 2B.5, and may return or revise a rule which is
      not in proper style and form.  The style and form prescribed shall
      require that the agency include a reference to the statute which the
      rules are intended to implement.
