What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would no longer require state inspectors or local health boards to visit every hotel every two years to check for cleanliness. Instead, the state would only perform these inspections if someone files a formal complaint about a hotel.1

Read the official explanation

This bill repeals the requirement that the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing (DIAL) or a local board of health conduct biennial sanitation inspections of all hotels in Iowa. The bill moves certain provisions associated with inspections from the repealed provision to the provision requiring DIAL to inspect a hotel upon receiving a complaint.

Changed since by amendment H-8006; see Amendments.
