2021 Iowa Code|Title III - PUBLIC SERVICES AND REGULATION|Chapter 89A - ELEVATORS|Section 89A.10 - Enforcement orders by commissioner — injunction.

89A.10 Enforcement orders by commissioner — injunction.   1. If an inspection report indicates a failure to comply with applicable rules, or with the detailed plans and specifications approved by the commissioner, the commissioner may, upon giving notice, order the owner thereof to make the changes necessary for compliance.   2. If the owner does not make the changes necessary for compliance as required in subsection 1 within the period specified by the commissioner, the commissioner, upon notice, may suspend or revoke the operating permit, or may refuse to issue the operating permit for the conveyance. The commissioner shall notify the owner of any action to suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue an operating permit and the reason for the action by service in the same manner as an original notice or by certified mail. An owner may appeal the commissioner’s initial decision to the safety board. The decision of the safety board shall be considered final agency action pursuant to chapter 17A.   3. If the commissioner has reason to believe that the continued operation of a conveyance constitutes an imminent danger which could reasonably be expected to seriously injure or cause death to any person, in addition to any other remedies, the commissioner may apply to the district court in the county in which such imminently dangerous condition exists for a temporary order for the purpose of enjoining such imminently dangerous conveyance. Upon hearing, if deemed appropriate by the court, a permanent injunction may be issued to insure that such imminently dangerous conveyance be prevented or controlled. Upon the elimination or rectification of such imminently dangerous condition, the temporary or permanent injunction shall be vacated.

The members shall serve without salary, but shall be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official duties as a member.   4. The members of the safety board shall select a chairperson, vice chairperson, and a secretary from their membership. However, neither the commissioner nor the commissioner’s designee shall serve as chairperson. The safety board shall meet at least quarterly but may meet as often as necessary. Meetings shall be set by a majority of the safety board or upon the call of the chairperson, or in the chairperson’s absence, upon the call of the vice chairperson. A majority of the safety board members shall constitute a quorum.   5.

Safety board action constitutes final agency action for purposes of chapter 17A.   6. The safety board shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 17A necessary to administer the duties of the board.   7. Not later than July 1, 2005, and every three years thereafter, the safety board shall conduct a comprehensive review of existing conveyance rules, regulations, and standards.

2021 Iowa Code|Title III - PUBLIC SERVICES AND REGULATION|Chapter 89B - HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS RISKS — RIGHT TO KNOW|Section 89B.2 - Legislative findings.

89B.2 Legislative findings.   The general assembly finds as follows:   1. The proliferation of hazardous chemicals in the environment poses a growing threat to the public health, safety, and welfare.   2. The constantly increasing number and variety of hazardous chemicals and the many routes of exposure to them make it difficult and expensive to adequately monitor and detect any adverse health effects attributable to the hazardous chemicals.   3. Individuals are often able to detect and thus minimize effects of exposure to hazardous chemicals if they are aware of the identity of the chemicals and the early symptoms of unsafe exposure.   4. Individuals have an inherent right to know the full range of the risks they face so that they can make reasoned decisions and take informed action concerning their employment and their living conditions.   5. Local fire and other government emergency response departments require detailed information about the identity, characteristics, and quantities of hazardous chemicals used and stored in communities within their jurisdictions, in order to adequately plan for, and respond to, emergencies, and enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations concerning these chemicals.   6. The extent of the toxic contamination of the air, water, and land has caused a high degree of concern and much of this concern is needlessly aggravated by the unfamiliarity of the chemicals.   7. There is a need to coordinate the existing regulatory and reporting responsibilities on hazardous chemical users and producers and to provide uniform access to information.  84 Acts, ch 1085, §2  C85, §455D.2  C87, §89B.2
