HF 196: Allowing cities to certify taxes for a general fund levy for libraries

What it does

2023 Iowa Acts, chapter (HF 718), amended Code section 384.12 (additional taxes) to eliminate several taxes a city may levy subject to voter approval at an election. In lieu thereof, HF 718 allowed cities to levy the same amounts the eliminated taxes could have levied as a part of the general fund levy under Code section 384.1. This bill reestablishes the tax levy for a public library eliminated by HF 718 in an amount not to exceed cents per $1,000. The tax imposed under the bill is subject to the same voter approval and notice requirements that existed prior to the enactment of HF 718.
