SF 98: Requesting the establishment of a pay for success bond interim study committee
Died when the session ended · The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill requests the legislative council to establish an interim study committee to determine whether opportunities exist for the use of pay for success bonds in Iowa. The bill defines “pay for success bond” to mean a financial instrument in which private investors provide working capital to nonprofit organizations to implement preventive programs aimed at achieving predefined social outcomes. If an independent evaluator determines that the predefined outcomes have been achieved, the government repays the investors their principal and a rate of return; otherwise, the investors lose their capital.
