A bill for an act relating to confidential public records, including seals and signatures of licensed architects, licensed landscape architects, and registered interior designers.

HF 2692 clarifies that the seals and signatures required for professional work by licensed architects, landscape architects, and registered interior designers are confidential records under Iowa law. However, it explicitly states that the plans or specifications bearing these seals or signatures are **not** considered confidential unless other law specifies otherwise. This change affects how public records requests apply to technical submissions from these licensed professionals. The bill makes a specific administrative adjustment to existing public records rules without altering the public access status of the underlying plans.
