SSB 3037 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to prohibited activities in the administration of alcoholic beverage control by the department of revenue, and including effective date provisions.

This bill restricts conflicts of interest for Iowa officials overseeing alcohol beverage regulation. It limits commission members to no more than two with alcohol business interests (excluding institutional investors), prohibits using office to influence political views, and bans the Director of Revenue or department employees from owning alcohol-related businesses they regulate. Employees cannot license businesses they have ties to or enforce rules against them, with violations potentially leading to termination. The bill does not prevent personal alcohol purchases.
