A bill for an act relating to the natural hazard mitigation financing program, the disaster recovery housing assistance program, the disaster recovery new housing program, post-loss assignment of benefits, the licensing and regulation of adjusters, appraisers, and umpires, and the Iowa economic emergency fund, and providing penalties, making appropriations, and including effective date and retroactive applicability provisions.

HF 1012 proposes changes related to natural hazard mitigation financing and other disaster recovery programs in Iowa. It establishes new provisions for the Natural Hazard Mitigation Financing Program, creating dedicated funds and accounts that are separate from the state's general fund. The bill authorizes the Iowa Finance Authority to issue bonds and notes to fund a revolving loan fund for natural hazard mitigation projects. These funds are also intended to provide state matching funds required for federal disaster relief. This aims to support projects that reduce risks from natural hazards for affected communities and loan recipients.
