What’s in it

AI summary County boards of supervisors would gain the power to change agreements used to run the system that stores land records. Currently, these agreements must include the Iowa County Recorders Association, but this change would remove them as a required party. This allows local leaders to update the system's rules as needed to keep it working.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to the authority of the county boards of supervisors to amend the county land record information system agreement. Current law requires each county to enter into an agreement under Code chapter 28E with the Iowa county recorders association in order to implement the county land record information system. The bill grants the county boards of supervisors, on behalf of the respective county recorders, the authority to amend the county land record information system agreement as necessary to provide for the ongoing implementation of the county land record information system. The bill amends 2005 Iowa Acts, chapter 179, section 101, subsection 1, to remove the Iowa county recorders association as a party to the required agreement. The bill defines the term “county land record information system agreement”.
