What’s in it

AI summary Currently, every county seal in Iowa must include the word "treasurer." This change would allow counties to design their official seals without being required to include that specific word.1

This bill relates to the design of county seals. Under current law, a county treasurer is required to keep the official county seal. The official county seal shall include the name of the county, the word “county”, which may be abbreviated, the word “treasurer”, which may be abbreviated, and the word “Iowa”.
