SSB 3026 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to dates for elections to issue bonds or other indebtedness.

This bill amends Iowa law to allow local governments (like cities and counties) to hold elections on bond or debt approval questions on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June during even-numbered years. This aligns bond elections with existing primary election dates in June, providing a consistent, predictable schedule. The change applies specifically to special elections where the sole or primary purpose is approving bonds or other debt. It does not alter the content of bond proposals, only the timing options for holding the vote. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on election scheduling.
