What’s in it
This bill allows an applicant before the Iowa utilities board (IUB) under Code chapter 476 or a person whose real property is subject to an eminent domain taking claim arising from an application before IUB to file a petition seeking declaratory review from the Polk county district court. Relief by the court is limited to a declaration of the parties’ rights, status, and other legal matters relating to eminent domain. The bill does not limit IUB’s authority to proceed with an application that was under consideration at the time of such a petition.
Read the full explanation
The bill allows a person to commence a new action in a district court of a county other than Polk county with a different district court judge if more than months have passed since the commencement of a prior action or the facts and circumstances presented in the prior proceeding have changed. In such a proceeding, the bill requires the court to review the issues without giving precedential weight to the findings in the prior action.
