Iowa Admin. Code r. 191-2.2
The definitions in Iowa Code section 22.1 are incorporated into this chapter by this reference. In addition to the definitions in rule 191-1.1 (502,505), the following definitions apply:
"Confidential record" means a record that is not available as a matter of right for inspection and copying by members of the public under applicable provisions of law. Confidential records may be specified as confidential by Iowa Code section 22.7 or other provisions of law but may be disclosed upon order of a court, the lawful custodian of the record, or by another person duly authorized to release the record. Mere inclusion in a record of information declared confidential by an applicable provision of law does not necessarily make that entire record a confidential record.
"Division" means the insurance division of the department of insurance and financial services created by Iowa Code section 505.1. The division is both the "government body" and the "lawful custodian" as defined in Iowa Code sections 22.1(1) and 22.1(2), respectively. The division is also the "agency" as defined in Iowa Code chapter 17A and referenced in Iowa Code chapter 22. For purposes of this chapter, "division" includes both the commissioner of insurance and the administrator as defined in Iowa Code chapters 502 and 505.
"File," "filed," or "filing," when used as a verb, means submitting or having submitted to the division a record or information. "File" or "filing," when used as a noun, means a record or information.
"Inspect" or "inspection" means the same as "examine" or "examination" in Iowa Code chapter 22. The term "examination" in this chapter does not mean the same as "examination" as used in Iowa Code chapter 22.
"Lawful custodian," as used in Iowa Code section 22.1(2), is the division, the division's record officer, or an employee lawfully delegated authority by the division to act for the division in implementing Iowa Code chapter 22.
"Open record" means a record other than a confidential record.
"Personally identifiable information" means information about or pertaining to an individual in a record that identifies the individual and that is contained in a record system.
"Record" means all or part of a "public record," as defined in Iowa Code section 22.1, that is owned by or in the physical possession of the division.
"Record system" means any group of records under the control of the division from which a record may be retrieved by a personal identifier.
