A bill for an act relating to local government, including the approval of action by ordinance and posting of public notices.

This bill requires counties and cities to obtain formal council or board approval via ordinance before implementing internal policies or rules, and mandates that such ordinances include a public cost analysis detailing impacts on taxpayers and businesses. It eliminates the requirement for local governments to publish public notices in newspapers, instead requiring notices to be posted online on official government websites or social media platforms. The policy applies directly to all counties, cities, and school districts in Iowa, affecting how they handle policy approvals and public notice requirements for matters like property tax hearings. Key provisions include standardized online posting timelines and accessibility of cost analyses to the public.
