A bill for an act relating to the appointment and duties of township officers and township budgets, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

SF 2431 updates Iowa law governing township officers and their financial management. It requires township clerks and other local officials (like city treasurers) to deposit funds only in Iowa-based banks, with limited exceptions for bonded debt payments. The bill also mandates that elected officials reside in their district for their entire term, revises election error procedures to grant governing bodies discretion on new elections, and adjusts rules for candidates running for multiple offices. These changes directly affect township officers, county officials, city treasurers, and candidates for local office in Iowa.
