What’s in it

This bill requires the Iowa utilities board to adopt rules that require rate-regulated electric utilities to discontinue using coal to produce electricity in Iowa by 2030, and to discontinue using fossil fuels to produce electricity in Iowa by 2040. Current law provides that a public utility which, after written notice of a specified violation of a rule adopted by the board, violates the same rule, is subject to a civil penalty of at least $100 but not more than $2,500 per violation. If the violation is willful, the civil penalty increases to at least $1,000 but not more than $10,000 per violation.
