HF 593 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to groundwater hazard statement requirements.

HF 593 would have exempted certain property transfers from requiring a groundwater hazard statement. Specifically, it would have removed the need to submit this paperwork when transferring trust assets to beneficiaries at no cost (without consideration). This directly affects individuals or entities handling such trust distributions who would otherwise face this additional filing step. The bill was withdrawn before becoming law in March 2025.
