What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would get rid of the group in charge of planning and protecting the land next to the Missouri River. This group currently works on conservation projects and manages a special fund for the area. Any money left in that fund would be moved into the state's general fund.¹

Read the official explanation

This bill repeals the Missouri river preservation and land use authority (authority). Currently, the authority exists to engage in comprehensive planning for and the development and implementation of strategies designed to preserve and restore the landscape adjacent to the Missouri river. The authority is required to work with interested parties in developing plans and proposals and conducting public hearings relating to the conservation, preservation, and acquisition of land adjacent to the Missouri river. The authority also administers the Missouri river preservation and land use fund in order to further the purposes of the authority. The bill repeals the authority and makes conforming changes to the Code. Upon the effective date of the bill, any moneys remaining in any account or fund under the control of the authority shall be transferred to the general fund of the state.
