SSB 1087 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to public notice requirements for meetings of a governmental body.

This bill amends Iowa's public notice requirements for governmental body meetings. It requires bodies to provide notice of meeting times, dates, locations, and tentative agendas through three methods: advising requested media, posting prominently at their office or meeting location, and posting on their official website. If a tentative agenda is amended, the updated version must be marked "AMENDED" and new notice provided. The bill mandates at least 24 hours' notice before meetings (or as soon as possible for cancellations) and applies to all governmental bodies, including electronic meetings and specific notices for veterans appointments and school agreements.
