Bill Summary
This bill provides that a person has 90 days, not the current 60 days, to file a complaint with the Iowa public information board after an alleged violation of Code chapter 21 (open meetings) or Code chapter 22 (open records) occurred or the complainant could have become aware of the alleged violation.
AI Summary
This Study Bill, which amends Section 23.7 of the Iowa Code, extends the timeframe for filing complaints with the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB) from 60 days to 90 days. The IPIB is the state agency responsible for overseeing compliance with Iowa's open meetings law (Code chapter 21) and open records law (Code chapter 22), which ensure that government bodies conduct their business publicly and that citizens have access to public records. This change means that individuals, taxpayers, the Attorney General, or county attorneys now have an additional 30 days after an alleged violation of these laws occurs, or after they reasonably could have discovered the violation, to formally submit a complaint to the board.
