HSB 17 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act providing for an expedited filing service for filers of business documents administered by the secretary of state, and providing fees.

This bill creates new expedited filing options for businesses submitting documents to Iowa's Secretary of State, adding two faster service tiers: a one-hour filing for $250 and same-day service for $175 (previously only two-day and five-day options existed). It directly affects businesses filing documents like formation paperwork or amendments who choose faster processing. Key provisions include standardized surcharges added to standard filing fees, written confirmation of expedited filings, and depositing all collected fees into the Business Administration Fund. The bill modifies existing Code section 9.15 to implement these fee structures without changing the underlying business filing requirements.
