A bill for an act relating to the filing of complaints with the Iowa public information board.
SF 386 extends the deadline for filing complaints with Iowa's Public Information Board regarding alleged violations of open meetings (Chapter 21) or open records (Chapter 22) laws. It changes the filing window from 60 days to 90 days after the violation occurs or the complainant reasonably discovers it. This applies to aggrieved individuals, Iowa taxpayers, citizens, the attorney general, or county attorneys. The bill modifies the complaint process but does not alter the underlying open government laws.
