SSB 1116 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act concerning local government notice requirements on certain actions.

This bill standardizes public notice requirements for Iowa local governments before certain decisions. It mandates 10-20 days' notice for public hearings, with small cities (population ≤200) allowed to post notices in public locations instead of publishing in newspapers. The changes apply to actions like bond proposals, withdrawing from state building codes, city discontinuance, and reducing council size. Cities must publish notices in weekly newspapers or post in public places for small communities, ensuring consistent public notification processes.
