This bill amends Section 217.43 of the Iowa Code by adding a new requirement for members of county advisory boards. Specifically, it stipulates that a member must reside in the county that the advisory board serves. This change aims to ensure that board members have a direct connection to the community they represent, potentially enhancing their understanding of local issues and needs.

The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies this residency requirement as a new subparagraph (4) under subsection 1, paragraph a. This amendment reflects a legislative effort to strengthen the accountability and relevance of county advisory boards by ensuring that their members are local residents.
