This bill amends Section 331.434 of the Iowa Code to require counties to include funds allocated for employee contracts negotiated under Chapter 20 in their annual budget proposals. Specifically, it mandates that the budget must detail the amount needed for each class of proposed expenditures, including these dedicated moneys, and provide a comparison with expenditures from the previous two years. Additionally, for counties with established urban renewal areas, the budget must also include estimated and actual tax increment financing revenues and expenditures.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new subsection that stipulates counties can only authorize raises for employees covered by contracts negotiated under Chapter 20 if such raises are included in the certified budget. These raises will not take effect until the beginning of the fiscal year for which the budget is certified. This provision aims to ensure that any salary increases are planned and accounted for within the county's financial framework.
