A bill for an act relating to historical resource research centers.

This bill requires Iowa's historical resource research centers in Des Moines and Iowa City to be maintained as publicly accessible, adequately staffed facilities within those cities. It amends existing law to specify that the Department of Administrative Services must operate these centers in buildings located in Des Moines and Iowa City, with sufficient staffing and public access. The bill directly affects the Department of Administrative Services, which manages these centers. It does not create new funding or alter historical research content, but mandates operational requirements for two existing facilities. The bill was introduced on January 13, 2026, and referred to the State Government committee.
