What’s in it
This bill concerns all appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils of the state established by the Iowa Code.16F establishes requirements for appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils to conduct comprehensive reviews over each five-year period, beginning July 1, 2019. The bill requires each board, commission, committee, or council to conduct a review during each five-year period, on a schedule established by the department of management, and issue a report on the review to the general assembly.

The new Code section also provides that terms of office for all positions on appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils which are appointed by the governor and subject to confirmation by the senate expire every five years, beginning July 1, 2025, and no appointments to fill the vacancy can be made, unless legislation is enacted waiving this requirement. The bill requires that legislation waiving the requirement be enacted no sooner than three years prior to the next five-year expiration date.
