What’s in it
This bill relates to the reporting of certain gifts and bequests received by the executive branch. Currently, all gifts and bequests received by a department or accepted by the governor on behalf of the state are required to be reported to the Iowa ethics and campaign disclosure board and the general assembly’s standing committees on government oversight. Each year, the board is required to submit a report to the legislative services agency listing all of the gifts and bequests received during the previous year with a value of over $1,000 as well as all gifts and bequests a department receives from a person if the cumulative value of the gifts and bequests from the person to the department exceeds $1,000 during the previous calendar year.
Read the full explanation
The bill limits the reporting requirement to gifts and bequests with a value of $50 or more. The bill requires the recipient reports to the board to be filed electronically within days of receiving the gift or bequest using the board’s internet reporting system. The bill eliminates the filing requirement with the general assembly’s standing committees on government oversight.
Changed since by amendment S-3076; see Amendments.
