A bill for an act concerning the duties of county commissioners and county auditors.

HF 949 modifies the duties of county commissioners and county auditors in Iowa. It significantly raises the threshold for county commissioners to formally bid on election-related goods and services from over $1,000 to over $50,000, allowing an informal bid process for costs up to $50,000. The bill also removes the requirement for county auditors and other officials to index official bonds by the principal's name and filing date. Additionally, it eliminates a wide range of specific administrative and record-keeping duties for county auditors, including those related to veteran assistance, school funds, and mental health treatment.
