What’s in it
AI summary Iowa would create a new grant program to help counties pay for turning their paper records into digital files. To get this money, counties must show they can pay for a certain portion of the project themselves. The state will manage a special fund to give out these grants, but the bill does not provide the actual money to start the fund.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires the department of management (DOM) to establish and administer a county records digitization grant program. The bill requires a county applying for a grant to demonstrate that the county is able to pay for percent of the cost to digitize the county’s records. The bill prohibits DOM from issuing a grant to a county that exceeds percent of the cost to digitize the county’s records. The bill establishes a county records digitization grant fund in the state treasury under the control of DOM. Moneys in the fund are appropriated to DOM for the exclusive purpose of issuing grants under the program. The bill does not appropriate moneys or otherwise provide for revenue to the fund.
