A bill for an act relating to timelines for online information availability concerning the discontinuance of city utilities.

SF 601 reduces the required notice period for cities proposing to discontinue a utility and seek voter approval. Under current law, cities must make such proposals available online at least 60 days before submitting them for election. The bill changes this to require availability at least 30 days prior. This affects cities in Iowa that need voter approval to discontinue or sell city-owned utilities, ensuring the public has access to proposals sooner. The change streamlines the timeline without altering the requirement for voter approval.
