A bill for an act relating to drainage districts and levees, including district parcel records, and including effective date provisions.
This bill (SF 2418) changes how county auditors in Iowa handle drainage district parcel records. It allows county auditors to either file these records with the county recorder or make them publicly available online, rather than requiring physical filing only. The records identify all parcels within a drainage district, including legal descriptions, parcel IDs, and owner names as shown in county records. This affects landowners in drainage districts by clarifying how district boundaries and easements (for ditches, tile lines, etc.) are documented and accessed. The change streamlines record access without altering the content or requirements for the parcel records themselves.

MINOR
The bill was reprinted to reflect its passage by the Senate and formal approval by the Governor, removing administrative cover letters and signatures. The substantive policy text remains unchanged, maintaining the deadline for county auditors to file district parcel records by June 30, 2027, and repealing the old paragraph on that same date.
TECHNICAL
Removed the Governor's transmittal letter, signature block, and internal Senate certification pages.
Added a header indicating the bill is 'Reprinted' and includes a Senate passage date of March 10, 2026.
Reformatted the text to include line numbers and page headers consistent with a final printed version.
