A bill for an act providing for an expedited filing service for filers of business documents administered by the secretary of state, and providing fees.
SF 629 creates new expedited filing options for businesses submitting documents to Iowa's Secretary of State, adding two faster service tiers: a $200 fee for one-hour processing and $125 for same-day service (in addition to existing $50 for two-day and $15 for five-day options). It directly affects businesses filing documents like LLCs, corporations, and cooperatives under Iowa law. The bill requires the Secretary of State to provide written confirmation of expedited filings and deposit all collected fees into the Business Administration Fund. These fees are added to standard filing costs, with no change to core document requirements or processing timelines for standard filings.
