This matter came before the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB) on March 17, 2022, to review the Probable Cause Report and enter an Order based upon such review.

The Probable Cause Report recommends that the IPIB determine that probable cause does exist to believe that the Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) violated Iowa Code chapter 21.  The Report also recommends that the IPIB dismiss this formal complaint as an exercise of administrative discretion.

Upon review and consideration of the Probable Cause Report, the IPIB enters the following findings and order pursuant to Iowa Administrative Rule 497-2.2(4)(a-d):

 

_______ Finds that there is insufficient evidence to enter an order and redirects the matter for further investigation.

 

_______ Finds that there is a lack of probable cause to believe a violation has occurred and dismisses the matter.

 

_______ Finds that probable cause exists to believe a violation has occurred, but, as an exercise of administrative discretion, dismisses the matter.

 

_______ Finds that probable cause exists to believe a violation has occurred, designates a prosecutor, and directs the issuance of a statement of charges to initiate a contested case proceeding.

 

So ordered this 17th day of March, 2020.
