What’s in it
AI summary Currently, there is no time limit for when someone can start an arbitration proceeding. This new law would set deadlines for how long people have to request arbitration, using the same time limits found in other parts of Iowa law. These rules would apply to any new or ongoing arbitration cases that are not specifically prohibited from using these deadlines.1
Read the official explanation
This bill establishes statutes of limitations on when an arbitration proceeding can be requested. The bill uses the same limitations provided in Code chapter 614 (limitations of actions). Under current law, there are no time limitations for arbitration proceedings. The bill applies to all arbitration proceedings commenced on or after the effective date of the bill and any arbitration proceeding that is pending on the effective date of the bill where asserting a statute of limitation is not expressly prohibited by the rules governing the arbitration proceeding.
