| HF596 | A bill for an act relating to the recounting and contesting of elections, and providing penalties.(See HF 928.) | This bill relates to the recounting of elections and election contests. The bill requires an election recount to be conducted in each precinct where a ballot for a given office was cast when a recount is requested for that office. The bill changes the deadline for the receipt of a request for a recount to the second Wednesday following an election and makes conforming changes. The bill requires a person seeking a recount of an election for a statewide elected office, member of the general assembly, or federal office to submit the request to the state commissioner of elections. The difference between the total number of votes cast for the apparent winner and the total number of votes cast for the candidate requesting the recount must be 1 percent or less in order for a recount to be called. The person requesting the recount must pay a bond unless the difference between the total number of votes cast for the apparent winner and the total number of votes cast for the candidate requesting the recount is 0.1 percent or less. The bill requires the candidate requesting the recount to affirm that the candidate will be responsible for the payment of the bond if the candidate’s committee does not pay for the bond. The bill changes the composition of the election recount board to consist of the county commissioner of elections, the county commissioner of elections’ staff, and any persons employed by the county commissioner of elections to tally ballots during the election. The bill allows the apparent winning candidate and the candidate requesting the recount to select not more than five persons each to observe the recount. A recount may be conducted either by hand or by use of automatic tabulating equipment, but not by both. The county commissioner of elections must make all automatic tabulating equipment available for use during the recount. The bill requires the recount board’s written report of its findings to be signed by at least two-thirds of the members of the board. The bill requires a county commissioner of elections to comply with all guidance issued by the state commissioner of elections. If the state commissioner of elections believes that a recount is not being conducted as required by law, the bill allows the state commissioner to halt the recount, take custody of all ballots and equipment used in the recount, and appoint staff to conduct the recount. If the state commissioner of elections believes that a county commissioner of elections is purposefully conducting a recount in violation of law, the state commissioner may impose a civil penalty on the county commissioner not to exceed $25,000, to be deposited in the general fund of the state. The bill changes the membership of contest courts for public measures, governor and lieutenant governor, presidential electors and federal officers, state officers, and county officers to consist of five district court judges, appointed by the chief justice of the supreme court by January 30 of each odd-numbered year. The bill allows the decisions of contest courts for public measures, governor and lieutenant governor, presidential electors and federal officers, state officers, and county officers to be appealed to the supreme court. | In Committee |
| HF127 | A bill for an act relating to county supervisors, concerning county supervisor representation plans and county supervisor vacancies, and including effective date provisions.(See HF 786.) | This bill concerns county supervisor representation plans and county supervisor vacancies. DIVISION I —— PLAN “THREE” COUNTY SUPERVISOR REPRESENTATION PLANS AND SPECIAL ELECTIONS. The bill requires a county with either a population of 125,000 or more based on the most recent federal decennial census or the main campus of an institution of higher learning governed by the state board of regents to use plan “three” for the election of county supervisors. Plan “three” requires individual members of the board of supervisors for that county to be elected from single-member, equal-population districts. The bill provides that such counties that do not use plan “three” for the election of supervisors as of the effective date of the bill must submit a precinct plan to the state commissioner of elections by October 1. The legislative services agency must draw the representation plan, in conformity with the provisions of law governing the adoption of a plan “three” representation plan, for use by such counties to elect supervisors under plan “three” during the 2026 general election. The bill requires special elections for the purpose of selecting a supervisor representation plan to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, rather than the first Tuesday in August. In accordance with Code section 39.2 (special elections), a special election may be held on the same day as a regularly scheduled election. The bill also requires a new representation plan, if a plan “two” or “three” is approved at the special election, to be completed not later than December 31, rather than November 1. Such a plan will still take effect the following January 1. The bill fixes an internal subsection reference that was inadvertently not updated when Code section 331.207 was renumbered for the 2019 Code. DIVISION II —— COUNTY SUPERVISOR VACANCIES. The bill requires vacancies on the board of supervisors to be filled by special election in a county with either a population of 125,000 or more or the main campus of an institution of higher learning governed by the state board of regents. Current law allows for vacancies to be filled by appointment under certain circumstances. The bill requires vacancies to be filled by appointment in a county with a population of less than 125,000 that does not include an institution of higher learning governed by the state board of regents in accordance with current law, including a vacancy that is treated as a resignation due to the physical or mental status of a supervisor. DIVISION III —— EFFECTIVE DATE. The bill takes effect upon enactment. | In Committee |

| HF634 | A bill for an act relating to forest and fruit-tree reservations, and providing for a fee. | Currently, a person who establishes a forest or fruit-tree reservation (reservation) is entitled to a property tax exemption on the tract of land selected to be a reservation, subject to certain conditions. Beginning January 1, 2026, this bill establishes a fee structure for reservations dependent upon where the reservation is located. For a reservation located in a county where the owner of the reservation maintains a homestead, the fee is $2 per acre per year. For a reservation located in a county contiguous to the county where the owner of the reservation maintains a homestead, the fee is $3 per acre per year. For all other reservations, including a reservation located inside the corporate limits of a city, the fee shall be a rate per acre equal to a formula calculated by the department of management. Fees collected under the bill are to be paid no later than September 1 of each year to the county treasurer of the county where the forest or fruit-tree reservation is located to be deposited into the county general fund. | In Committee |
| HF115 | A bill for an act providing penalties for certain nonimmigrant visa holders attending or employed by certain institutions of higher education who express support for certain terrorist activities or organizations and including effective date provisions.(See HF 576.) | This bill requires an institution of higher education to adopt and enforce a policy relating to certain expressions of support for terrorist activities or organizations, as defined under federal law, by nonimmigrant visa holders attending or working at the institution. The bill defines “institution of higher education” as an institution of higher learning governed by the state board of regents or an accredited private institution for purposes of tuition grants under Code chapter 256, subchapter VII, part 4, subpart B. The policy shall prohibit a student, faculty member, and staff member, if the individual holds a nonimmigrant visa, from publicly espousing terrorist activity related to an ongoing conflict or, at any time or place, persuading others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity related to an ongoing conflict or to support a terrorist organization unless it is the policy or practice of the United States to support such activity or organization. Upon suspecting or receiving a credible allegation of a violation by an individual, the policy shall provide for an investigation of the individual by the institution and, if warranted by the factual results of the investigation, enforcement of the policy against the individual. Upon a first finding of guilt of or responsibility for a violation by a preponderance of the evidence, the policy shall provide for the suspension of a student or termination of a faculty or staff member’s employment for at least one year. Upon a second such finding, the policy shall provide for the expulsion of a student or termination of a faculty or staff member’s employment permanently. Immediately upon suspending or expelling a student or terminating a faculty or staff member’s employment in this manner, the policy shall require the institution to update the individual’s record in the federal department of homeland security’s student exchange visitor information system or a successor system to show that the individual is no longer enrolled as a full-time student of the institution or employed by the institution. The policy must prohibit a student, faculty member, or staff member from transferring to, enrolling at, or becoming employed by the institution if the individual has been suspended, expelled, or terminated from employment by another institution of higher education as provided under the bill. The bill shall be enforced by the attorney general, who may investigate suspected violations by an institution of higher education. The attorney general may compel production of documents and other evidence from an institution suspected of a violation. The attorney general may bring an action against an institution for a writ of mandamus to compel the institution to comply. Upon a determination by the court that an institution that is not a regents institution has committed a violation, the institution shall be ineligible to receive funds from the state for tuition grants under Code chapter 256, subchapter VII, part 4, subpart B, for the academic year beginning after the date of the finding. The bill takes effect December 31, 2025. | In Committee |
| HF107 | A bill for an act relating to operation of all-terrain vehicles or off-road utility vehicles on public hunting areas.(See HF 473.) | This bill relates to the operation of all-terrain vehicles or off-road utility vehicles on a public hunting area. The bill allows for the operation of all-terrain vehicles or off-road utility vehicles on a public hunting area for the express purpose of removing a lawfully taken deer carcass. The bill requires the all-terrain vehicle or off-road utility vehicle operator and all passengers to wear a visible blaze orange vest, coat, jacket, sweatshirt, sweater, shirt, or coveralls until the deer carcass has been removed from the public hunting area. Under current law, the natural resource commission (NRC) may prohibit operation of all-terrain vehicles or off-road utility vehicles on public lands, public ice, or designated riding trails in the interest of safety for persons, property, or the environment. Additionally, barring limited exceptions, operation of an all-terrain vehicle or off-road utility vehicle is prohibited in any park, wildlife area, preserve, refuge, game management area, or navigable stream, except on designated riding areas and trails. Under current law, a person in violation of relevant all-terrain vehicle or off-road utility vehicle prohibitions is guilty of a simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine of $135. A person convicted may also be assessed a civil penalty of $250 to be deposited in the special all-terrain vehicle fund, may be ordered to pay restitution for damage caused by the violation, and may have registration and permit privileges revoked or suspended. | In Committee |

The bill also permits such a school district to adopt a new revenue purpose statement that includes the use of unobligated and unreserved revenues received from the secure an advanced vision for education fund (SAVE) for up to five years for any school district general fund purpose, other than for salary and benefits. Such use authorizations must be approved at an election where the question or the revenue purpose statement, as applicable, receives at least 60 percent approval. | In Committee |
