What’s in it

AI summary Money from gambling taxes is currently used to give grants to charitable organizations in certain Iowa counties. This bill changes the rules so that only charities located within the state of Iowa can receive this money. It also updates related laws to make sure the rules for getting property information match this new definition.1

Read the official explanation

11) is deposited in the county endowment fund (fund). Each fiscal year, the department of revenue divides moneys in the fund equally among counties in which no licensee authorized to conduct gambling games under Code chapter 99F is located, to distribute percent as grants to charitable organizations for charitable purposes in that county and to retain percent for use in establishing a permanent endowment fund for the benefit of charitable organizations for charitable purposes. This bill narrows the definition of “charitable organization” for purposes of the fund to only those located in this state. The bill alters a provision of the probate code (Code chapter 633) relating to charitable organization affidavits for purposes of obtaining property or information regarding property, so that it is not similarly narrowed by reference.
