HF 696: Relating to enforcement of the Iowa wage payment collection law

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on April 19, 2024. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to Code chapter 91A, the Iowa wage payment collection law. The bill requires the labor commissioner to place a high priority on investigation of possible violations of Code chapter 91A and enforcement of Code chapter 91A. The bill strikes language providing that the commissioner shall only enter a workplace to determine whether Code chapter 91A has been violated in response to a written complaint. The bill provides that the commissioner may make a determination on whether Code chapter 91A has been violated based upon the commissioner’s own investigation and may initiate an investigation based on an anonymous complaint or without receipt of a complaint.
