HF 2522 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the required beneficiary and use of a public officer insurance policy, and including effective date provisions.

HF 2522 removes specific requirements for public officer insurance policies in Iowa that currently mandate the state be the beneficiary and the policy cover injuries to corporations or individuals. The bill eliminates provisions in Code section 64.3(4) that previously required insurance policies (used instead of bonds) to name the state as beneficiary and serve the "use and benefit" of injured parties. This change directly affects Iowa public officers who obtain insurance policies in lieu of surety bonds. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, streamlining the insurance policy requirements without altering the underlying purpose of protecting the public.
