Prohibits cities and counties from imposing franchise fees starting July 1, 2025.
This bill amends the Iowa Code to prohibit cities and counties from imposing franchise fees on entities that provide essential services within their jurisdictions. Effective July 1, 2025, cities will no longer be able to assess fees based on a percentage of gross revenues, and counties will also be barred from collecting such fees. The bill ensures that existing franchise agreements remain unaffected by these changes.
