Bill Summary
This bill provides that a person has 90 days, rather than 60 days under current law, 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 and open records laws, specifically Chapter 21 (open meetings) and Chapter 22 (open records). This change means that individuals who believe a government body has violated these laws now have an additional 30 days after the alleged violation occurred, or after they reasonably could have discovered it, to formally report the issue to the IPIB.
