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 Iowa Code, extends the timeframe for filing complaints with the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB) from 60 days to 90 days after an alleged violation of Iowa's open meetings (Chapter 21) or open records (Chapter 22) laws occurs, or after the person filing the complaint reasonably could have discovered the violation. The IPIB is the state agency responsible for overseeing compliance with these laws, which ensure that government meetings are open to the public and that public records are accessible.
