SSB 1199 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act creating a study committee on the administration of the court debt system.

This bill creates a study committee within Iowa's judicial branch to examine how court debt is administered - covering assessment, payment, collection, and distribution - without changing debt amounts or distributions. The committee, chaired by the state court administrator, includes state agency directors, law enforcement leaders, county and city representatives, and four legislative members. It must submit recommendations for statutory reforms by November 1, 2025, to the judiciary committees of both legislative chambers. The goal is to simplify the system, reduce errors, lower administrative burdens, and improve efficiency in court debt handling.
