Suit challenges Gov Reynolds rulemaking over order limits
A group of Iowans files in Polk County District Court arguing Governor Reynolds lacked authority to require agencies to adopt rules that ease industry burden. Plaintiffs say Executive Order 10, issued in January 2023, aims to repeal or rewrite all rules by 2026, diminishing protections for landowners and the environment and bypassing public comment. The suit seeks a declaratory judgment that the order is illegal and that rules under it are void.
