HSB 780 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act prohibiting warrant resolution clinics, including enforcement mechanisms, providing penalties, and including effective date provisions.

This bill prohibits the organization and hosting of warrant resolution clinics, which are defined as prearranged events designed to help people with outstanding arrest warrants resolve them without immediate arrest or custodial processing. It restricts all entities, including law enforcement agencies and nonprofits, from sponsoring or funding these events and mandates that individuals with warrants must resolve them through standard judicial procedures or by surrendering to peace officers. The legislation includes strict penalties for violations, such as misdemeanors for public officials and civil fines for private individuals, while also banning the use of public funds or facilities for these prohibited activities. Additionally, the bill prevents counties involved in such clinics from receiving court debt funds and supersedes any local rules that might allow these events.
