What’s in it
AI summary Iowa will keep its energy center running until July 1, 2030, instead of letting it end in 2022. The law also extends funding for two environmental research centers through that same date. Additionally, all money collected from gas and electric utilities will now go directly to the energy center rather than being split with the state's general fund.1
Read the official explanation
This bill extends the repeal date of the Iowa energy center established in Code section 15.120 from July 1, 2022, to July 1, 2030. The bill also extends specified funding sources for the Iowa energy center and the center for global and regional environmental research to July 1, 2030, and makes conforming amendments. The bill provides that the full amount of specified remittances from gas and electric utilities are appropriated to the Iowa energy center.
