What’s in it

This bill relates to sanctions on intervenors in contested cases before the Iowa utilities commission. The bill prohibits the commission from threatening or imposing sanctions on an intervenor unless the commission determines the intervenor was knowingly dishonest or in violation of a criminal statute and caused actual, quantifiable injury to the commission in excess of $500.
