What’s in it

AI summary County attorneys can now work to collect unpaid fines or debts owed to a city or county shortly after they become overdue. Local governments can also set up special procedures to collect these unpaid debts. This change helps cities and counties recover money from people who have not paid their court-ordered penalties.1

The bill also allows a county or city to establish a debt collection setoff procedure for purposes of collecting delinquent judgment debt.65 (setoff procedures —— department of revenue) takes effect on the effective date of the rules, other than transitional rules, adopted by the department of revenue pursuant to Code chapter 17A implementing 2020 Iowa Acts, chapter 1064.
