This bill amends Section 23.7, subsection 1 of the Iowa Code to extend the timeframe for filing complaints with the Iowa public information board. Under the current law, individuals have 60 days to file a complaint after an alleged violation of open meetings or open records laws. The proposed change increases this period to 90 days, allowing more time for aggrieved persons, taxpayers, citizens, the attorney general, or county attorneys to submit their complaints.

Additionally, the bill maintains that all complaints filed with the board will remain public records. This change aims to enhance accessibility and ensure that individuals have adequate time to address potential violations of transparency laws in Iowa.
