What’s in it
AI summary The Iowa telecommunications and technology commission would no longer have a limit on how much money it can spend on contracts. Currently, the commission must get special permission from state leaders if a contract costs more than a certain amount. Removing this limit allows the commission to enter into larger agreements without those extra approvals.1
Read the official explanation
This bill strikes the contract limitation amount established for the Iowa telecommunications and technology commission, which oversees the Iowa communications network. Currently, any contract that would exceed this limitation amount requires the prior authorization of a constitutional majority of each house of the general assembly, approval by the legislative council if the general assembly is not in session, or approval of the executive council as a result of circumstances constituting a natural disaster or threat to homeland security.
