A bill for an act relating to matters under the purview of the economic development authority and the Iowa finance authority including the strategic infrastructure program, brownfield, grayfield, and redevelopment tax credits, community attraction and tourism, vision Iowa, sports tourism marketing, the historic preservation tax credit, homelessness, the title guaranty board, and arts and culture, and including applicability and retroactive applicability provisions.

This bill amends multiple economic development programs in Iowa, including tax credits for brownfield redevelopment, historic preservation, community tourism, and Vision Iowa. It streamlines application processes by requiring review committees for tourism programs, sets 30-month project completion deadlines for tax credit projects, and mandates independent audits for tax credit claims. The bill repeals outdated sections of law, transfers unspent funds to Vision Iowa, and applies retroactively to past applicants for tourism and redevelopment programs. It directly affects businesses, local governments, and developers seeking tax credits or financial assistance under these programs. The changes aim to clarify administrative procedures without altering the core funding mechanisms.
