HF 2404 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the timing of school district bond elections.

HF 2404 changes when school districts in Iowa can hold bond elections. It requires all school district bond votes to occur only on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November during even-numbered years (like 2026 or 2028). This aligns school bond elections with the state's regular general election schedule, rather than allowing them on other dates. The bill directly affects school districts seeking voter approval for bond issues, ensuring these votes happen consistently with statewide elections. It does not apply to other political subdivisions or non-bond-related elections.
