HF 2282 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the sale of certain specified buildings or structures by school districts, and including applicability provisions.

HF 2282 requires school districts to obtain approval from a city council (if the building is within a city) or county board (if outside a city) before selling any building or structure with 2,500 square feet or more of floor space. The bill also mandates that state agencies and cities must consider leasing vacant school buildings owned by public school corporations before leasing, purchasing, or constructing new facilities. It does not apply to sales or agreements finalized before the bill’s effective date. These provisions aim to ensure local oversight for large school property sales while promoting the reuse of existing school facilities.
