What’s in it
AI summary Local governments in Iowa would be stopped from passing rules that limit how people access certain types of energy. This prevents cities and counties from making it too difficult for people to buy or use specific energy sources or the equipment needed to provide them.1
Read the official explanation
This bill prohibits a county or city from adopting an ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment that limits consumer access to an energy source or that results in the de facto prohibition of the sale or production of an energy source or the related infrastructure necessary to provide consumer access to a specific energy source within the jurisdiction of the county or city. The bill defines “energy source”.
