The bill establishes a new section, 279.89, which mandates that the board of directors of a school district must adhere to all relevant provisions of Code chapter 22 concerning the examination of public records. In the event that a school board fails to comply with these provisions, individuals who are aggrieved by such non-compliance are granted the right to enforce their rights under chapter 22. This enforcement can be pursued through various legal avenues, including seeking a writ of mandamus or an injunction, as well as other civil enforcement mechanisms outlined in Code section 22.10.

Additionally, the bill specifies that civil enforcement mechanisms may involve the payment of monetary damages by the custodian of records who violated chapter 22, as well as the payment of costs and reasonable attorney fees. For repeat offenses, the bill allows for the possibility of an order to remove the offending individual from their position. Overall, this legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the handling of public records by school districts in Iowa.
