1 1 Section 1. Section 25B.2, subsection 3, Code 1999, is
1 2 amended by striking the subsection.
1 3 Sec. 2. NEW SECTION. 25B.5A UNFUNDED STATE MANDATES –
1 4 EFFECT.
1 5 If, on or after July 1, 2000, a state mandate is enacted by
1 6 the general assembly, or otherwise imposed, on a political
1 7 subdivision and the state mandate requires a political
1 8 subdivision to engage in any new activity, to provide a new
1 9 service, or to provide any service beyond that required by any
1 10 law enacted prior to July 1, 2000, and the state does not
1 11 appropriate moneys to fully fund the cost of the state mandate
1 12 as identified pursuant to section 25B.5, subsections 1 and 2,
1 13 the political subdivision is not required to perform the
1 14 activity or provide the service and the political subdivision
1 15 shall not be subject to any liabilities imposed by the state
1 16 or the imposition of any fines or penalties for the failure to
1 17 comply with the state mandate.
1 18 EXPLANATION
1 19 This bill provides that if a new state mandate is imposed
1 20 on or after July 1, 2000, which requires the performance of a
1 21 new activity or service or the expansion of a service beyond
1 22 what was required before July 1, 2000, the state mandate must
1 23 be fully funded. If the state mandate is not fully funded,
1 24 the affected political subdivisions are not required to comply
1 25 or implement the state mandate. Also, no fines or penalties
1 26 may be imposed on a political subdivision for failure to
1 27 comply or carry out an unfunded state mandate.
1 28 This bill strikes Code section 25B.2, subsection 3, and
1 29 rewrites it as a new section outside the intent section of
1 30 Code chapter 25B. The rewritten section removes a qualifying
1 31 phrase which limits the circumstances under which a political
1 32 subdivision may fail to carry out an unfunded state mandate.
