HF 2189 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to public improvement contracts, including notice requirements.

HF 2189 requires Iowa public corporations to send written notice of final acceptance for public improvement projects within 14 days to the principal contractor, surety on performance bonds, and any claimants for labor or materials. This notice must include the date of final acceptance, and the public corporation cannot be held liable for failing to send it. The bill directly affects contractors, suppliers, and sureties involved in public construction projects by establishing a clear timeline for notification after project completion. It modifies existing notice requirements under Iowa Code § 573.16 to ensure timely communication about final acceptance. The change focuses on procedural clarity without altering substantive rights or obligations.
