Iowa HF923 amends the Code to restrict the Iowa utilities commission from imposing sanctions on intervenors unless specific conditions are met.

Iowa HF923 modifies Section 474.3 of the Code to limit the Iowa utilities commission's ability to sanction intervenors in contested cases. The commission can no longer threaten or impose sanctions on an intervenor unless it determines that the intervenor was knowingly dishonest or in violation of a criminal statute and caused actual, quantifiable injury to the commission exceeding $500. This change aims to protect intervenors from unwarranted sanctions.
