Iowa § 327C.25

• Jurisdiction: Iowa
• Title VIII: TRANSPORTATION
• Ch. 327C: SUPERVISION OF CARRIERS

Text

A person may file with the department a petition setting forth any particular in which
a common carrier has violated the law to which it is subject and the amount of damages
sustained by reason of the violation. The department shall furnish a copy of the complaint to
the carrier against which a complaint is filed. The department shall request the department
of inspections, appeals, and licensing to schedule a hearing in which the carrier shall
answer the petition or satisfy the demands of the complaint. If the carrier fails to satisfy the
complaint within the time fixed or there appears to be reasonable grounds for investigating
the matters set forth in the petition, the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing
shall hear and determine the questions involved and make orders it finds proper. If the
department of transportation has reason to believe that a carrier is violating any of the
laws to which it is subject, the department may institute an investigation and request the
department of inspections, appeals, and licensing to conduct a hearing in relation to the
matters as if a petition had been filed.
