What it does

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.
