Iowa Admin. Code r. 541-12.3
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 11, December 11, 2024
Services for which the department has determined that DAS will be the sole provider are designated "utilities" in Iowa state government. Customers may choose the amount of service they purchase, but should buy from the single source. Utilities are those services for which a monopoly structure makes sense due to economies of scale. The process for determining whether DAS will be the sole provider of a service will include consideration of economic factors, input from the DAS customer council and input from upper levels of the executive branch.
