BY  (PROPOSED COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY BILL BY CHAIRPERSON HOGG)

A BILL FOR

An Act relating to conducting condemnation proceedings.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 6B.2, subsection 1, paragraph b, Code 2013, is amended to read as follows:
   b.  By the county attorney, when the damages are payable from funds disbursed by the county, or by any township, or school corporation.
EXPLANATION
   Code chapter 6B specifies the procedure for the condemnation of private property. Code section 6B.2 specifies that such condemnation proceedings shall be conducted by the county attorney when the damages are payable from funds disbursed by a county, or by any township, or school corporation. This bill strikes school corporations from the provision under which the county attorney is required to conduct condemnation proceedings.
