Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
14 provisions identified: 10 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Business filers may get fee refunds
From July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, Iowa's secretary of state may refund certain business and nonprofit filing fees. Covered fees are listed in Iowa Code sections 489.122(1), 490.122(1), and 504.113(1). Refunds are optional and follow the secretary's rules. A denial is final and cannot be reviewed under chapter 17A.
Civil rights office can hire nonprofits
Beginning July 1, 2025, Iowa's Office of Civil Rights may hire a nonprofit to provide legal help resolving civil rights complaints. The law does not guarantee individual help or set funding amounts or eligibility rules.
Local governments get cybersecurity support
The law sets aside $325,000 from the Department of Management's technology funding for local government cybersecurity services. Funding covers July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The money supports local government systems, not household payments.
Care facility oversight information becomes public
Beginning July 1, 2025, Iowa's Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing must publish health facility oversight information during its website updates. Required information includes inspection counts, oversight budgets and staffing, survey trends, deficiencies, and fines for nursing and assisted living facilities and programs.
Enrich Iowa library program gets funding
The law provides about $2.465 million for the Enrich Iowa library program. Funding covers July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The provision does not specify individual benefit amounts or how the money is divided among recipients.
Record fees support online government access
From July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, the first $750,000 in specified certified vehicle operating-record fees goes to IowAccess. This fund supports online access to government records. Beginning July 1, 2025, all IowAccess transaction fees also enter that fund and may support only IowAccess projects. These rules direct existing fee revenue; they do not set new fee amounts.
Public pension system gets administration funding
Beginning July 1, 2025, the law provides $60 million from Iowa's public employees' retirement fund for a pension administration system. Money not committed by June 30, 2026, remains available through June 30, 2036. This funds pension operations, not larger individual pension payments.
State purchases must favor Iowa suppliers
Beginning July 1, 2025, agencies funded by this law must give first buying preference to Iowa products or Iowa-based producers. U.S. products or U.S.-based producers receive second preference. The rule applies to product purchases and does not specify a spending amount.
Captive insurance receipts fund insurance oversight
Beginning July 1, 2025, captive insurance premium tax receipts under Iowa Code section 432.1A enter the captive insurance oversight fund. Fees, assessments, fines, and administrative penalties under chapter 521J also enter that fund. This directs revenue to oversight rather than changing household tax amounts.
Cities and counties get free appraisal manuals
Beginning July 1, 2025, Iowa's Department of Revenue must prepare and provide state appraisal manuals and updates to cities and counties for free. The provision does not specify local savings or a change in household property tax bills.
State health plans allow monthly charge
Iowa's Department of Administrative Services may charge $2 per health insurance contract each month for plans it administers. This authority runs from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The law does not say whether plan members pay the charge.
Tobacco enforcement funding faces annual cap
From July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, a standing general fund appropriation for tobacco-product enforcement cannot exceed $17,525. The cap applies to enforcement under Iowa Code chapter 453D. It does not change household taxes or benefit eligibility.
Regulators must recover their operating costs
Beginning July 1, 2025, Iowa's Utilities Commission and Insurance and Financial Services divisions must cover appropriations and state-assessed indirect costs through charges or revenue. The commission may exceed its utility-regulation budget for actual extra expenses only when those expenses are fully reimbursable. The law sets no household charge or utility bill increase.
Licensing fees support enforcement and state
During July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026, Iowa's licensing department must collect specified fees under chapters 99B, 137C, 137D, and 137F. For municipalities with section 137F.3 agreements, it must return municipal fees after deducting electronic transaction fees. At least $800,000 of non-municipal fees must enter the state general fund by June 30, 2026. Remaining fees support enforcement of those chapters; the provision does not set new fee amounts.
