Iowa HF877 regulates fees for proofs of publication of public notices and defines what constitutes a proof of publication.

Iowa HF877 amends the state code to regulate fees for proofs of publication of public notices. It defines a proof of publication as a document that includes the published document, date of publication, and the name of the newspaper or a statement that the document was posted on the statewide public notice internet site. The bill allows newspapers to charge a fee for proofs of publication that include additional elements, such as a notarized affidavit, but the fee cannot exceed the actual costs of preparation.
