Bill Summary
Current law requires a person interested in transferring real property to deliver a written disclosure statement to persons interested in being transferred the real property. This bill provides for the inclusion of the presence of lead service lines in these disclosures. The bill adds the definitions “service line”, meaning a pipe connecting the water main to interior plumbing, and “lead service line”, meaning a service line which is made of lead, downstream of any lead service line, or a service line of unknown material, to Code chapter 558A (real estate disclosures).
AI Summary
This bill updates Iowa's real estate disclosure law to require sellers to disclose the presence of lead service lines when transferring property. The bill adds two new definitions to the existing real estate disclosure statute: "service line" is defined as the pipe connecting a water main to a building's interior plumbing, and "lead service line" is defined as a service line made of lead, or a galvanized service line that is or was previously downstream of a lead service line or a service line with unknown material composition. Specifically, the bill amends the existing disclosure statement requirements to mandate that sellers provide information about the presence of lead service lines as part of their property disclosure, alongside other important property characteristics and defects. This change aims to increase transparency for potential property buyers by ensuring they are informed about potential lead pipe infrastructure that could pose health risks or require costly replacement.
