What it does

This bill relates to matters under the purview of the economic development authority and the Iowa finance authority including the strategic infrastructure program, brownfield, grayfield, and redevelopment tax credits, community attraction and tourism, vision Iowa, sports tourism marketing, the historic preservation tax credit, homelessness, the title guaranty board, and arts and culture. Division I eliminates the requirement that the Iowa innovation council review and make recommendations on all applications received by the Iowa economic development authority (IEDA) for financial assistance under the Iowa strategic infrastructure program, and instead requires a committee appointed by the IEDA director to conduct a review and make recommendations.
