A state agency or department shall not propose or adopt an
administrative rule which exceeds its statutory authority by
mandating expenditures by political subdivisions, or agencies and
entities which contract with political subdivisions to provide
services. A state administrative rule, proposed pursuant to chapter
17A, which necessitates additional combined annual expenditures
exceeding one hundred thousand dollars by all affected political
subdivisions or agencies and entities which contract with the
affected political subdivisions to provide services shall be
accompanied by a fiscal impact statement outlining the costs. An
affected political subdivision, or an entity representing an affected
political subdivision, shall cooperate in the preparation of the
fiscal impact statement. The fiscal impact statement shall be
submitted to the administrative rules coordinator for publication in
the Iowa administrative bulletin along with the notice of intended
action.
The fiscal note shall also be submitted to the legislative fiscal
committee of the legislative council. Beginning in the first full
fiscal year after adoption of the state administrative rule, the
fiscal committee shall annually prepare a report for each fiscal note
submitted detailing the fiscal impact of the administrative rule on
the affected political subdivision, or agencies and entities which
contract with the political subdivision to provide services. The
