In conjunction with the advisory group under section 701.509, the director shall promulgate, by rule, the minimum energy efficiency standards for the products in subsection 2 of section 701.500. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028.
