A bill for an act providing for a red tape reduction internet site.
HB 747 requires Iowa's Secretary of State to create an online portal where the public can request information about state regulatory restrictions and communicate with the Secretary regarding them. The bill mandates that the Secretary annually report to the legislature listing regulatory restrictions that received public requests or communications through the site. This tool directly affects Iowa residents and businesses seeking clarity on state regulations, while establishing a formal channel for public input on bureaucratic rules. The bill focuses on transparency and data collection about existing regulations, not on changing or reducing those regulations themselves.
