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 bill extends the timeframe for filing complaints with the Iowa Public Information Board, which is the state agency responsible for overseeing open meetings and open records. Specifically, it increases the deadline from 60 days to 90 days after an alleged violation of either Code chapter 21 (open meetings) or Code chapter 22 (open records) occurs, or after the person filing the complaint could have reasonably discovered the violation. This change provides individuals with more time to formally report potential breaches of these transparency laws.
