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 aggrieved persons, taxpayers, citizens, the attorney general, or county attorneys more time to submit their complaints.

Additionally, the bill maintains that all complaints filed with the board will remain public records. This amendment aims to enhance accessibility and transparency in the complaint process regarding violations of Iowa's open meetings and records laws.
