| SF45 | A bill for an act relating to the creation of land redevelopment trusts.(See SF 655.) | This bill provides for the establishment of land redevelopment trusts. Division I of the bill authorizes one or more municipalities to establish a land redevelopment trust as a method to return dilapidated, abandoned, blighted, and tax-delinquent properties in their communities to economically productive status. An established land redevelopment trust is a public agency for the purpose of joint exercise of governmental powers, a governmental body for purposes of public meetings requirements of Code chapter 21, and a government body for purposes of public records requirements of Code chapter 22. Land redevelopment trusts are subject to periodic examination by the auditor of state under Code chapter 11. The bill requires the board of directors of a land redevelopment trust to establish bylaws addressing matters necessary to govern the conduct of the land redevelopment trust. Division I of the bill also grants a land redevelopment trust various powers and duties, including the authority to acquire properties through certain procedures, including the purchase of tax sale certificates and the foreclosure of properties acquired at a tax sale if not redeemed. However, the bill explicitly prohibits a land redevelopment trust from possessing or exercising the power of eminent domain. The bill establishes financing procedures that govern land redevelopment trusts, including allowing to be remitted to the land redevelopment trust up to 75 percent of real property taxes collected on a real property conveyed or leased by a land redevelopment trust that remains after the division of taxes for an urban renewal area and exclusive of any amount levied by a school district for five consecutive years after the property is again put on the tax rolls. The bill requires a land redevelopment trust to submit annual reports to the governing body that created the land redevelopment trust. The bill provides procedures for disposing of property that is acquired by the land redevelopment trust. The bill also provides procedures for dissolving a land redevelopment trust. Division II of the bill creates a land redevelopment trust tax sale procedure, which allows a land redevelopment trust to acquire abandoned, blighted, or dilapidated properties through an exclusive tax sale. In order to acquire property through a land redevelopment trust tax sale, the land redevelopment trust shall file a verified statement identifying the parcels for which the land redevelopment trust intends to purchase the tax sale certificates and shall pay the delinquent total amounts due on each parcel before May 15. Upon timely receipt of the land redevelopment trust’s verified statement and payment, the county treasurer shall remove the identified parcels from the regular annual tax sale and place those parcels in the land redevelopment trust tax sale. The land redevelopment trust tax sale shall occur before a public nuisance tax sale. Division III of the bill makes changes throughout the Code to conform with land redevelopment trust procedures established in division I of the bill. | In Committee |
| SF621 | A bill for an act relating to economic development by establishing the Iowa major events and tourism program and fund, modifying the sports tourism and marketing infrastructure program, and making appropriations.(See SF 640.) | This bill establishes the Iowa major events and tourism program and fund and modifies the sports tourism and marketing infrastructure program. DIVISION I —— IOWA MAJOR EVENTS AND TOURISM PROGRAM AND FUND. The bill requires the economic development authority (authority) to establish an Iowa major events and tourism program (program) and an Iowa major events and tourism fund (fund), and to administer the program. The purpose of the program is to provide financial assistance including but not limited to grants to an entity supporting an event in this state, or an event involving a geographic region that includes this state, and the event generates large attendance, significant publicity, and measurable economic impact on this state. The financial assistance includes payment or reimbursement of costs incurred by the entity to apply or bid for selection as the site event, to plan or conduct the event, and to pay or reimburse any related fees including hosting fees, sanctioning fees, participation fees, operational fees, and bid fees. The bill defines “entity” to mean an Iowa nonprofit organization established to promote economic development and tourism in an area. The bill defines “event” to mean a tourism-oriented athletic contest, convention, music festival, or art festival. The bill requires the authority to establish eligibility criteria for the program by rule. The eligibility criteria must include the requirement that the entity be currently involved in the bidding and selection process for the event the application is based upon; and that the entity must submit an economic analysis of the event with the entity’s application that includes but is not limited to projected hotel and motel room occupancies, and the projected number of attendees the event attracts from this state, other states, and other countries. An application is deemed to meet all eligibility criteria if the state is selected as the event site after a highly competitive bidding and selection process involving sites in other states, if this state serves as the sole site for the event, or if the sole site for the event involves a geographical region that includes this state and one or more contiguous states. If an entity’s application meets the eligibility criteria established in the bill, the staff of the authority must perform an evaluation of the application and forward the application and evaluation to the economic development authority board (board). In evaluating an application, the bill requires the authority to consider the impact on the economy, the potential to attract visitors, advertising and media coverage, public-to-private investment ratios, and the quality, size, and scope of the event. Upon review of the staff evaluation, the board may approve, deny, defer, or modify the application. The bill allows the board and the authority to negotiate with the entity regarding the details of the event and the amount and terms of the financial assistance. An application remains eligible for consideration by the board for up to two years from the date of receipt of the application by the board. The bill requires applicants to demonstrate the ability to provide matching funds equal to at least 50 percent of the financial assistance awarded to the applicant. The bill requires the authority to establish a fund for the purposes of providing financial assistance under the program. The authority may administer the fund as a revolving fund. Moneys in the fund that remain unencumbered or unobligated at the close of the fiscal year do not revert and remain available until the close of the fiscal year following the succeeding fiscal year. Moneys in the fund that are encumbered or obligated pursuant to financial assistance awarded under the program shall be disbursed by the authority within five years of the date of encumbrance or obligation, or the moneys shall revert to the state treasury. Moneys in the fund are appropriated to the authority to provide financial assistance to an entity under the program. An entity that is awarded financial assistance pursuant to the bill is not eligible to receive financial assistance under the sports tourism infrastructure program. DIVISION II —— APPROPRIATIONS FROM SPORTS WAGERING RECEIPTS FUND. In FY 2025-2026, the bill appropriates $15 million from the sports receipts wagering fund to the Iowa major tourism events and tourism fund. DIVISION III —— SPORTS TOURISM MARKETING PROGRAM AND FUND —— REPEAL. The bill modifies the sports tourism marketing and infrastructure program by repealing the sports tourism marketing program and fund. The bill retains the sports tourism infrastructure program and fund. Upon the effective date of the division, the bill transfers the remaining moneys in the sports tourism marketing program fund to the Iowa major events and tourism program fund. | In Committee |
