Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

9 provisions identified: 8 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

More money into tech fund

The law moves $21.13 million into the Technology Reinvestment Fund for FY 2024–2025. It moves another $18.27 million for FY 2025–2026. Beginning July 1, 2026, $17.5 million will go into the fund every year. This supports future state IT projects.

Tech upgrades across state services

Starting July 1, 2025, the state funds many IT upgrades. Examples include $3.01 million for prison security and cameras, and $5.38 million for an economic development system. Schools get $600,000 for an education data warehouse and $2.73 million for network connections. The state also funds emergency alerts, poison control tech, cybersecurity, justice data systems, National Guard software, and treasurer finance software. These upgrades aim to keep public safety, education, and finance systems working well.

Help for farm water projects

Beginning July 1, 2025, the state puts $8.2 million into water quality projects. If you hold a legal interest in farm land and join a project, the state can pay up to 50% of most setup costs. Up to 10% of the money may go to program administration. The state also invests $1 million to update the nitrogen fertilizer decision tool. Any modeling data that identifies you or your farm location is confidential starting July 1, 2025.

Renewable fuel infrastructure gets $10M

On July 1, 2025, $10 million goes to the renewable fuel infrastructure fund. For 2025–2026, this replaces the usual general fund payment, which is set to zero. The money supports pumps and other fuel infrastructure at retail sites.

More time to spend tech funds

Unused Technology Reinvestment Fund money now stays available for two more fiscal years. Funds revert sooner if a project finishes earlier. This gives agencies more time to complete planned tech work.

More time to use older funds

Some 2021 and 2022 project appropriations now stay available for four years after the original budget year. Money still reverts when a project finishes. This keeps funding alive longer so projects can be completed.

Upkeep for historic and capitol sites

Beginning July 1, 2025, $5 million goes to maintain the State Historical Building. $40,000 funds markers for Underground Railroad sites across Iowa. The state must fix the capitol’s west and east exterior steps by June 30, 2026. It may spend up to $100,000 for new signs on the capitol grounds by that date.

More revenue steered to infrastructure fund

Excess wagering tax receipts now flow into the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund each year. Unspent balances and interest from the Vision Iowa and vacant‑building funds are credited and then sent to the infrastructure fund at year end. The law also removes a small deposit rule to align fund flows. This change boosts money for state infrastructure projects without new household taxes.

Counties must pay court furnishings

Counties must provide furniture for judges, referees, and their staff in county court facilities. Starting July 1, 2025, the state stops paying for these furnishings. The law also waives a rule that could limit this mandate. County budgets, and local taxpayers, may carry more of these costs.
