A bill for an act concerning local government notice requirements on certain actions.
This bill updates notice requirements for local government actions in Iowa. It requires 4-20 days' public notice (and written notice to the commissioner) for local governments to withdraw from the state building code, and 10 days' notice for proposals to discontinue a city or reduce council size. For budget hearings, it mandates 10-20 days' notice via newspaper publication (or posting for small cities) and includes budget summaries in the notice. These changes apply directly to cities and counties when making specific decisions, ensuring clearer public engagement before final actions.
