A bill for an act concerning local government notice requirements on certain actions.

HF 651 amends Iowa Code sections to adjust notice requirements for specific local government actions, affecting cities and counties across the state. The bill specifies notice periods (e.g., 4-20 days for building code withdrawal hearings and 10 days for city discontinuance or council size reductions) and requires notices to be published in local newspapers or posted publicly. It applies to decisions including withdrawing from the state building code, discontinuing a city, reducing council members in small cities (under 500 population), and holding budget hearings. These changes standardize public notification procedures before local governments make certain decisions.
