What’s in it

This bill allows a greater than three-fifths majority of either house of the general assembly to vote to withdraw from an eminent domain proceeding instituted by the Iowa utilities board (IUB). Upon notice to the involved entities and parties, all trials, depositions, hearings, and similar operations of the proceeding must cease. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to eminent domain proceedings initiated by IUB on or after January 1, 2024.
