Iowa HF196 allows cities to certify a tax for a general fund levy to support public libraries.

Iowa HF196 amends the Code to allow cities to certify a tax for a general fund levy to support public libraries. The tax, not exceeding 27 cents per thousand dollars of assessed value, is subject to petition and referendum requirements. If approved by voters, the tax can be eliminated through the same petition and election process. This bill reestablishes the tax levy for public libraries that was eliminated by a previous act.
