HF 2061 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the request for redaction of personally identifiable information from electronic documents displayed for public access by county assessors and county recorders.

HF 2061 expands who can request removal of their name from public property records maintained by Iowa county assessors and recorders. It adds U.S. Senators, Representatives, statewide elected officials, and Iowa state legislators to the list of people who can ask for their name to be removed from electronic documents. The bill also requires Iowa's Secretary of State to propose solutions by November 1, 2026, for protecting candidates' personal residence information while still verifying their election residency requirements. This changes the current law that only allowed law enforcement and judicial personnel to request such name removals.
