A bill for an act relating to the filing of complaints with the Iowa public information board.
This bill extends the deadline for filing complaints with Iowa's Public Information Board from 60 to 90 days after an alleged violation of open meetings (Chapter 21) or open records (Chapter 22) laws. It directly affects citizens, taxpayers, and officials (including the attorney general or county attorneys) who wish to report government transparency issues. The key change is simply the longer filing window, while maintaining that all complaints remain public records.
