Ray cancels rules by two Iowa state agencies
Gov. Robert Ray used his power to rescind two new state rules effective next week. The Chiropractic Examiners Board rule defined “physician” to include chiropractors, a stance Ray said conflicts with state law. The Credit Union Department rule limited eligibility to form unions to groups of 10 to 450 workers, excluding about 140000 workers.
