Iowa SF595 regulates construction by limiting local topsoil and stormwater management ordinances, prohibiting licensing fees for licensed.

Iowa SF595 amends construction regulations by restricting local governments from enforcing topsoil preservation, compaction, placement, or depth requirements stricter than those in the national pollutant discharge elimination system general permit. It also limits local stormwater management ordinances to those not more restrictive than initial subdivision reviews, unless mandated by state or federal law. The bill prohibits cities and counties from imposing fees on licensed contractors for performing licensed work, though fees for permit issuance and inspections remain allowed.
