A bill for an act relating to solid waste collection and disposal by establishing a maximum rate increase charged by governmental entities and creating a property tax rebate for service charges.

This bill caps annual rate increases for solid waste collection and disposal services by local governments (counties, cities, and municipal utilities) at either 102% of the previous year's rates or the Midwest region's Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase, whichever is lower. It excludes rate hikes for pre-July 2025 debt repayment from this cap. If rates exceed the limit, the local government must submit the increase to voters at the next general election; if rejected, all overcharged fees are refunded by January 1 following the election, and rates are immediately adjusted to the cap. The policy directly affects residents and businesses paying solid waste fees in Iowa jurisdictions governed by these entities.
