Iowa Admin. Code r. 781-17.12

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 10, November 13, 2024

Rule 781-17.12 - Effect of a declaratory order

A declaratory order has the same status and binding effect as a final order issued in a contested case proceeding. It is binding on the department of the treasurer of state, the petitioner, and any intervenors (who consent to be bound) and is applicable only in circumstances where the relevant facts and the law involved are indistinguishable from those on which the order was based. As to all other persons, a declaratory order serves only as precedent and is not binding on the department of the treasurer of state. The issuance of a declaratory order constitutes final agency action on the petition.
