A bill for an act relating to a moratorium on economic development program funding for the four most populous counties in Iowa.

HSB 310 imposes a three-year freeze on all state economic development program funding for Iowa's four most populous counties (Polk, Johnson, Scott, and Dallas), beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2028. This moratorium halts all funds and program administration by the economic development authority for these counties during the specified period. The bill directly affects the counties' ability to access state resources for economic development initiatives like business incentives or infrastructure projects. It creates a temporary pause in funding without altering existing programs or creating new ones. The measure focuses solely on delaying current funding disbursements for these specific counties.
