A bill for an act providing for certain business entities acting under the jurisdiction of the secretary of state by providing for the removal of information from a filing based on a sworn affidavit and administrative dissolution based on the response to interrogatories.

This bill (SSB 3165) creates a process for individuals to remove their personal information (like address or email) from Iowa business filings if it was added without their permission. It allows people to submit a sworn affidavit identifying the business and the unauthorized details, prompting the Secretary of State to remove that information from public records at no cost. The bill also gives the Secretary authority to send written questions (interrogatories) to businesses suspected of fraud, with a 21-day response deadline; failure to respond or admitting violations could lead to administrative dissolution of the business. It directly affects business owners and individuals whose personal data is misused in filings, providing a concrete mechanism for correcting errors or fraud.
