   1.  The portion of the section of this Act amending section 455B.172, subsection 11, paragraph “i”.
    Sec. 2.  EFFECTIVE UPON ENACTMENT.  This Act, being deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.
    Sec. 3.  RETROACTIVE APPLICABILITY.  This Act applies retroactively to July 1, 2010.
EXPLANATION
   This bill relates to certain abstracts to property with private sewage disposal systems.
   Pursuant to 2008 Iowa Acts, chapter 1033, beginning July 1, 2009, certain title transfers required an inspection of any private sewage disposal system located on the property. Title abstracts to such property were required to include documentation of the inspection. Pursuant to 2010 Iowa Acts, chapter 1120, the title abstract requirement was eliminated.
   The bill adds a retroactive applicability provision to 2010 Iowa Acts, chapter 1120, making the elimination of the title abstract requirement retroactively applicable to July 1, 2009, which is the original enactment date of the title abstract requirement.
   The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to July 1, 2010.
