Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to a court’s ability to waive the requirement of conservators to post bond. The bill provides the court discretion as to whether a bond is required for a conservator. Under current law, courts do not have the discretion to waive bond for a conservator, other than a financial institution with Iowa trust powers, unless the court finds an alternative to bond that would protect the protected person’s assets.
