The bill amends Section 388.2A of the Iowa Code regarding the timeline for making information available online concerning the discontinuance of city utilities. Currently, cities are required to make proposals for the discontinuance of utilities available to the public at least 60 days prior to submitting them for voter approval. This bill reduces that timeline to 30 days, allowing for a quicker process in informing the public about such proposals.
The change aims to streamline the procedure for cities looking to discontinue utilities and seek voter approval, potentially facilitating more efficient decision-making. The bill does not alter the requirement for voter approval but modifies the timeframe for public notification.
