HF 820 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the lease of state property, and making appropriations.

This bill allows Iowa state agencies to lease property to religious organizations for constructing buildings used for religious purposes. If the leased property was purchased with state funds, lease payments must be deposited into the state's general fund or the specific fund used to buy the property, then returned to the owning agency. It directly affects state property managers (like the Department of Administrative Services) and religious groups seeking facilities. The law updates existing property disposal rules to include this leasing option while requiring financial accountability for funds tied to state-owned property.
