This bill relates to federal moneys and regulations. DIVISION I —— APPROPRIATIONS OF FEDERAL MONEYS. The bill appropriates moneys for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 federal fiscal years from block grants available from the federal government and provides procedures for increasing or decreasing the appropriations if the amounts of the block grants are increased or decreased from the amounts anticipated. The federal fiscal year begins October 1, and the state fiscal year begins July 1. The bill also makes standing appropriations for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 state fiscal years of other federal and nonstate grants, receipts, and moneys. DIVISION II —— CITY REGULATION OF DEVELOPERS, CONTRACTORS, AND SUBCONTRACTORS. Pursuant to 2025 Iowa Acts, Senate File 603, a city is not permitted to make the receipt of or eligibility for incentives contingent upon compliance with a restriction, qualification, or requirement on a developer’s, contractor’s, or subcontractor’s employee compensation or training beyond what is expressly authorized by state law. The bill provides that a city may do so if required under federal law. This division of the bill takes effect upon enactment and is retroactively applicable to March 28, 2025.
