SF 169 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to record access by members of cooperative associations providing utility service.

This bill requires utility cooperatives in Iowa to provide members with specific financial records upon request. It directly affects members of nonprofit and standard utility cooperatives (like electric or water co-ops owned by their customers), mandating that they receive the association's most recent biennial report, budget, and balance sheet. Cooperatives must deliver these documents within 30 days of a reasonable member request. The bill does not change utility rates or services but ensures transparency in how cooperatives manage member-owned finances.
