A bill for an act relating to interests in minerals owned by counties and cities.

HF 2213 requires Iowa counties and cities to transfer any mineral rights they own or control to the current surface owner of the land. This applies to perpetual mineral interests (like coal, oil, gas, or geothermal resources) that counties or cities hold separately from surface ownership. The transfer must occur without cost to the surface owner within five years of the bill's effective date. The bill directly affects county/city governments and landowners who hold surface rights but lack mineral ownership.
