A bill for an act providing for certain business entities acting under the jurisdiction of the secretary of state by providing for the removal of information from a filing based on a sworn affidavit and administrative dissolution based on the response to interrogatories.
This bill (HSB 665) creates a process for individuals whose personal information was misused in business filings to request removal. It allows people to submit a sworn affidavit if their name, address, or email was listed as a registered agent or business address without authorization. The Secretary of State must then remove the unauthorized information from the filing and notify the business. Additionally, the bill empowers the Secretary to issue interrogatories to investigate potential fraud, with businesses facing administrative dissolution if they fail to respond or admit violations. This directly affects business owners and individuals whose personal data was improperly included in Iowa business records.
